Fission Fragment Afterburner Rocket to Neptune
A project to recreate a journey to Neptune with a fission fragment rocket.
A journey to the frozen giant would not be complete without a landing on her icy moon Triton.
I've also completed a short animation featuring a Saturn flyby.
More info on the fission fragment rocket is available here. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist2.php#id--Nuclear_Thermal--Fission_Fragment_Type--Afterburner_Fission_Fragment
