A discussion of the relationships existing between engine, vehicle, and mission parameters of a typical controlled-fusion propulsion (CFP) system is presented. The low specific weight obtainable with a CFP device allows extremely high payload fractions in large vehicles. The CFP system is compared with other electric propulsion systems, and the CFP system is shown to possess inherent advantages for the performance of high velocity increment that is required for the missions.
