It’s also similar to the concept of nuclear thermal propulsion ... 6-7 months possible in typical chemical-fueled missions. A conceptual laser thermal propulsion space mission to Mars.

The future of interplanetary travel is looking brighter, thanks to the new Sunbird nuclear-powered rocket designed by Pulsar ...

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

The propulsion systems used in launch vehicles typically employ chemical propellants ... such as ion engines and nuclear thermal rockets, are also being explored for future space exploration ...

Unlike conventional chemical rockets, Sunbird relies on nuclear fusion – a process that replicates the energy production at the core of stars – to propel spacecraft.
