NASA-Funded Pulsed Plasma Rocket to Revolutionize Mars Missions

Howe Industries' innovative propulsion system promises faster, safer space travel with unprecedented efficiency and thrust.

The Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR) could reduce Mars mission travel time to just two months.
The PPR boasts 100,000 N of thrust and a specific impulse of 5,000 seconds.
The technology enables heavier spacecraft with enhanced shielding against cosmic radiation.
Potential missions include reaching the Asteroid Belt and using the Sun's gravitational lens for deep space observation.
Phase II of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program will refine the engine design and conduct proof-of-concept experiments.
