Transition of Space Propulsion and Challenge to the Future -Breakthrough of Propulsion Technology
International Journal of Civil Aviation, 2019 The distance to a stellar system is very immense, therefore the travel to the fixed star nearest to the Earth using the present propulsion technology will require tens of thousands years. In order to overcome such a limit of the space travel between fixed stars, research and development of a new propulsion theory and navigation theory are indispensable.
