I think this is the best view of your Vasimr Rocket yet. Its a pity Nasa doesn't come to you maybe then people would go to mars and beyond. Well Done my friend Karl

Your amazingly detailed work is always pleasure David, a true credit to what determination and skill informed by knowledge of the science involved can accomplish. I admit I am both intrigued and curious about the petal-like panel system and have enjoyed speculating in regards to the purpose -- here are what seem to me to be the most plausible explanations of the design feature: 1. A thermal shadowing system to protect the vehicle structure. 2. A means of capturing plasma flaring around the primary thrust stream -- allowing said plasma to "push" the vehicle. 3. A radiator system designed to capitalize on the Voyager Anomaly -- I recently read an explanation of the Voyager deceleration anomaly: apparently heat radiated from the vehicles RTG is being captured by the main dish antenna and focused providing the anomalous deceleration -- leading me to speculate that the petal-like structure is a set of backward facing radiators intended to add thrust generated via heat radiation to the overall ΔV. I'm curious to see which answer is closest to the purpose of the system.

Very cool! Hey, have you looked at the Ad Astra page for the VF-200 engine design? http://www.adastrarocket.com/aarc/VF200
