The interstellar version of "Project Orion" would use antimatter bombs for accelerating its speed to interstellar level.
"Project Orion" was the attempt to create nuclear-powered spacecraft by using the method, where the nuclear bombs would give punch to that spacecraft. Those nuclear bombs were planned to detonate behind spacecraft, and that thing would give extremely great punch for the spacecraft, what would travel in our solar system. If those nuclear bombs would be replaced with antimatter bombs, that system would be used to create the interstellar version of the "Orion" spacecraft.
But the stars would be a little bit too far away. The punch of that system would be extremely tough, and the system was planned to use many small-sized nuclear detonators, what size would be something like between one or two kilotonnes. Those bombs would be detonated as the salvo behind the craft, and that thing would happen by using frequency about one nuclear bomb per day.
Another thing what the system would use in those purposes is the series of neutron bombs, which would make the accelerating process softer. In that case, the Orion spacecraft would start the accelerating by using small nuclear detonators, and then the craft would turn to use bigger nuclear bombs and then the last used system would be 50 mt. hydrogen bomb.
This thing has given ideas to create the interstellar version of the Orion spacecraft. In that case, the detonated nuclear devices must have extreme power. The one way to use "Orion" spacecraft is to replace the normal nuclear bombs with hydrogen bombs as I just wrote or even antimatter bombs, what would give that spacecraft even greater punch, what nobody expected.
But what kind of system would be the interstellar version of Orion spacecraft be? That hypothetical long-enduring version of this nuclear-powered version of "Orion" spacecraft might be a hybrid version of solar sail and nuclear detonation using spacecraft. The solar sail would give the first acceleration, and then the craft would start to use antimatter bombs, which will create an extremely high punch.
The problem with antimatter bombes is that if something goes wrong, and they will explode, the detonation of those devices would destroy the entire planet, or turn some moon away from the trajectory. That's why those antimatter bombs must be created outside of our solar system by using the particle accelerators.
Form of the antimatter bombs is very simple. They are magnetic chambers, where the antimatter or antimatter ions has been stored. And when those devices would be detonated the magnet field, what denies those particles to touch the core of those magnet chambers or bottles just removed. The antimatter particles would touch the core, and then the system would be exploded. The name of that device is also "Teller's bomb", which is the most powerful explosive device, what mankind has ever invented.
When the interstellar "Orion" craft would be loaded by those bombs, that operation could be very complicated. Those devices would be created outside the Kuiper belt, and in this operation, the "Orion" spacecraft would travel outside our solar system as the normal solar sails or the device what would get speed from the particle accelerators, what will target their sails.
And when that probe would be in a safe distance, the stages, where those bottles of antimatter have been stored would dock with the probe. That means the stages would be driven to the probe with a very high speed, and then those antimatter systems would be ready to use. The thing is that the breaking the "Orion" would need as many antimatter bombs as the accelerating, that the project would be extremely difficult to make. But maybe in one day, this kind of devices would take mankind to another solar system.
