Editing Generation ship (section)

==Project Hyperion==
[[Project Hyperion (interstellar)|Project Hyperion]], launched in December 2011 by Andreas M. Hein, was to perform a preliminary study that defines integrated concepts for a crewed interstellar generation ship. This was a two-year study mainly based out of the [[WARR (research group)|WARR]] student group at the [[Technical University of Munich]]. The study aimed to provide an assessment of the feasibility of crewed interstellar flight using current and near-future technologies. It also aimed to guide future research and technology development plans as well as to inform the public about crewed interstellar travel.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Interstellar|first=Icarus|date=2020-12-06|title=Icarus Interstellar, Interstellar flight|url=http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/projects/project-hyperion|access-date=2020-12-07|website=Icarus Interstellar|language=en|archive-date=2020-12-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214085530/http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/projects/project-hyperion/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=DNews|title=Icarus Interstellar: Visions of Our Starship Future|url=https://www.seeker.com/icarus-interstellar-visions-of-our-starship-future-1769714561.html|access-date=2020-12-07|website=Seeker|date=10 April 2015 }}</ref> Notable results of the project include an assessment of world ship system architectures and adequate population size.<ref name="hein-pak-putz-revisited" /><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=Cameron M. |title=Estimation of a genetically viable population for multigenerational interstellar voyaging: Review and data for project Hyperion |journal=Acta Astronautica |date=2014 |volume=97 |page=16-29 |doi=10.1016/j.actaastro.2013.12.013 |bibcode=2014AcAau..97...16S |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576513004669}}</ref> The core team members have transferred to the [[Initiative for Interstellar Studies]]'s world ship project and a survey paper on generation ships has been presented at the [[European Space Agency|ESA]] Interstellar Workshop in 2019 as well as in [[European Space Agency|ESA]]'s Acta Futura journal.<ref name="hein-smith-marin-wsfar">{{cite journal |last1=Hein |first1=Andreas M |last2=Smith |first2=Cameron |last3=Marin |first3=Frederic |last4=Staats |first4=Kai |title=World Ships: Feasibility and Rationale |journal=Acta Futura |date=2020 |volume=12 |page=75-104 |doi=10.5281/zenodo.3747333 |arxiv=2005.04100 |s2cid=218571111 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Faife |first1=Corin |title=Scientists Are Contemplating a 1,000-Year Space Mission to Save Humanity |url=https://onezero.medium.com/scientists-are-contemplating-a-1-000-year-space-mission-to-save-humanity-70882a0d6e47 |website=Medium - OneZero |date=17 December 2019 |access-date=14 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Hein |first1=Andreas M |last2=Smith |first2=Cameron |last3=Marin |first3=Frédéric |last4=Staats |first4=Kai |title=World Ships –Feasibility and Rationale |url=https://indico.esa.int/event/309/attachments/3517/4683/World_Ships_-_Andreas_Hein.pdf |access-date=16 February 2021}}</ref>
