Technology

Designed to sustain interstellar missions, 1gSpace vessels operate with continuous 1G acceleration, a principle that ensures efficient propulsion and maintains Earth-like gravity to mitigate the adverse effects of long-term space travel.

Crewed ships such as ISV Proxima Colonia and ISV Proxima Innes feature modular habitats engineered for multi-year journeys. These habitats include advanced closed-loop life support systems for air and water recycling, robust radiation shielding, and adaptive environmental controls. Comprehensive onboard facilities support mission-critical operations and crew well-being, including research laboratories, next-generation medical bays, and recreation areas. Integrated 3D printing systems enable in-flight production of tools and components.

Advanced communication arrays ensure secure and reliable data transfer across vast interstellar distances. Autonomous drones and adaptive AI systems are deployed for external maintenance, resource management, and structural inspections. Thermal radiators and waste heat recovery systems enhance overall energy efficiency by repurposing excess thermal energy to support onboard systems.

Operational oversight is managed by AURAI, an autonomous and redundant artificial intelligence system. AURAI governs propulsion, resource allocation, space debris mitigation and environmental controls while employing predictive analytics to optimize system performance. Real-time monitoring safeguards critical functions and ensures safe and efficient operations throughout extended interstellar missions, maintaining the integrity of both crewed and unmanned spacecraft.

DCMCAAFR Reactors

The Dual Core Magnetically Confined Antimatter Augmented Fusion Reactors (DCMCAAFR) represent the pinnacle of propulsion technology, designed for long-duration interstellar missions. These reactors utilize proton-boron-11 fusion as their primary energy source, with metallic hydrogen serving a critical role in ignition and preheating to stabilize plasma conditions. Antimatter is injected as a catalyst, enhancing the fusion process to achieve exceptional energy yields and sustained thrust.

The full-scale DCMCAAFR, featured in our large crewed vessels, supports constant 1G acceleration for both propulsion and artificial gravity. Its dual-core configuration ensures redundancy, stability, and optimized plasma flow, with magnetic nozzles directing exhaust for precise thrust vectoring.

The Compact DCMCAAFR, used in the ACEP (Alpha Centauri Exploratory Probe), scales this advanced technology for autonomous exploration. Despite its smaller size, it delivers reliable high-efficiency propulsion, enabling extended operational capabilities in deep space.
