News Release 15 - Conceptual Design of Spacecraft
Wednesday, November 5, 2004
The conceptual design for a spacecraft has
been completed. The spacecraft will travel through the comet's tail and collect
grams of antimatter that are being blasted off the comet's surface by the solar
wind and dust particles. The current plan is to use a Delta IV rocket to launch
the spacecraft. The antimatter will be stored in a Penning Traps.
The spacecraft will return the antimatter to
a secluded area for processing.
