Abstract

This paper outlines a number of research projects that are currently underway at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ to investigate the potential for antimatter rocketry. This paper outlines a test to measure the impulse bit produced from electronpositron annihilations. Past research is also described along with Monte Carlo analysis to support the development of positron annihilation thermal rocketry and the flrst ever proof of concept test for a beamed core antimatter rocket engine.
