This paper presents the results of a conceptual design study for a crewed interplanetary spaceship powered by space drive propulsion system. The principle of space drive propulsion system is derived from General Relativity and the theory of continuum mechanics. We assume the so-called “vacuum” of space as an infinite elastic body like rubber. The curvature of space plays a significant role for the propulsion theory. From the gravitational field equation, the strong magnetic field as well as mass density generates the curvature of space and this curved space region produces the uni-directional acceleration field. The spaceship in the curved space can be propelled in a single direction. Since the force they produce acts uniformly on every atom inside the spaceship, accelerations of any magnitude can be produced with no strain on the crews, that is, there is no action of inertial force because the thrust is a body force. The paper describes the space drive propulsion principle, performance, fundamental design formulae, and the latest study of fine structure of space-time itself for the R&D of this propulsion system.
