The Project Orion study, often misspelled as the Project Onion study, examined a spacecraft that was meant to be launched by igniting a set of atomic bombs off behind the vehicle. The project was halted in 1963.

Is it feasible for a spacecraft to have a mass driven propulsion system such as an object being forced between two separately pressurized atmospheres within the craft?
no
How spacecraft moving in space?
It use propulsion system. Propulsion, like Jet engine but the rocket or space craft would store oxygen to combusted with fuel. Some advance spacecraft would use ion thruster by electrically heated up a gas to extremely high temperature and resulted to very fast stream of gas ejected on the back side of the spacecraft.

What type of propulsion system does a pwc use?
Impeller jet propulsion.
If the science of lightning strikes could be harnessed in spacecraft would spacecraft travel at or near speed of light?
No. Lightning and propulsion systems that we currently use have no relation to each other. Lightning is an atmospheric phenomenon and there is no atmosphere in space. The only thing along this line of thinking that may be distantly related is the theory of using an ion drive as a propulsion system. According to the theory, this may allow spacecraft to approach the speed of light. Ions are produced during lightning strikes, so there is a slight correlation.
What is propulsion system of an aircraft?
The engines.
When was Jet Propulsion Laboratory Display Information System created?
Jet Propulsion Laboratory Display Information System was created in 1973.
UAV Propulsion System Market?
A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) propulsion system refers to the combination of components that power and control the movement of an unmanned aircraft. The propulsion system typically includes an engine or motor, a propeller or rotor, and a control system that regulates the speed and direction of the aircraft.
