Deuterium Sphere<strong>Enzmann</strong> assumed solid Deuterium which hasdensity = 180 kg/m 3 @ STP (0°C, 01.325 kPa)But can assume slush Deuterium, mix of halfliquid (170 kg/m 3 ) and half ice (205 kg/m 3 )We assume density = 190 kg/m 3 .For 3 million tonnes propellant leads to revisedgeometry.Radius = 155.63 m; Diameter = 311.26 m
