You're right. That's what I get for posting so late at night. Or so early. Or so addled. Or something.

Agree, even worste this is a try to revive Orion infact is called "Orion-lite"......

And the details of a nuclear pulse unit bomb Could you imagine an Orion spaceship functioning in the high terrestrial atmosphere (above 50-60 km?) ; at the time of the prevention of atmospheric nuclear explosions (1962)!

Outstanding! Good work, Orion.

Seconded. Most fascinating part is near the end, 1963-65. When Dyson and Ted Taylor try to gets Orion rescued by NASA only to be rebuked by Milton Klein and Harold Finger pushing their own nuclear space engine: NERVA. At this moment they "shrink" Orion to 10 m diameter so that it fits the...

It was pie in the sky like many other concepts, constellations of manned orbital bombardment stations. There was no real money spent on Orion.

Robunos, Do you have G. Dyson's "Project Orion" book. Do you recommend it?. I'm interested on knowing more about that project and was considering to order it from amazon. Are the Battleship Orion versions described on that book?. Thanks in advance, Antonio

I should point out, though, that I am attempting to try to re-create it based on conversations with actual Orioneers.

(Shamelessly stolen from the website atomic rockets) One notional 1959 concept for a large military Orion was the “doomsday weapon" idea. Instead of one Orion carrying a large number or weapons, able to rain down devastation on many separate targets, the idea was to equip one Orion with one...

The Apollo CM was also unstable below M2 so it used its' RCS thrusters to keep it stable till the drogue-parachutes deployed, it would be the same thing for the Orion CM.
