Conventional Spacecraft

We plan to send a rocket launched spacecraft into comet's tails to harvest antimatter or mirror matter that is being blasted off comets by the solar wind and dust particles.

A spacecraft will be designed and constructed to harvest five to ten grams of mirror matter  (mass of one to two nickels) from the comets like the 9P/Tempel 1 Comet. The spacecraft incorporates over thirty-five years of antimatter research and technology. The major issue with obtaining financing. The spacecraft design will be modeled and tested before the full scale spacecraft is constructed, tested and launched on a rocket. 

A second spacecraft will retrieve the Penning Traps containing mirror matter and safely return the it to Earth. Mirror matter will be sold for $10 million per milligram to universities and national research laboratories compared to $36 trillion per milligram to make it. Since a milligram quantities are equivalent to the effective energy of the Space Shuttle, NASA will also be interested . The ten grams of antimatter are estimated to be worth $100  billion.

The next generation of spacecraft will use Mirror Energy space propulsion. The spacecraft be sent into comet's tails and continuously harvest and store mirror matter. The second spacecraft will retrieve mirror matter from the spacecraft's Penning Traps and bring it back to Earth.  Each new generation of spacecraft will be capable of obtaining larger quantities of mirror matter .
