Satellites and small bodies with ALMA: Insights into Solar System formation & evolution
Katherine de Kleer, Michael E. Brown, Martin Cordiner +1
Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large M…
Science opportunities with solar sailing smallsats
Slava G. Turyshev, Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman +25
Recently, we witnessed how the synergy of small satellite technology and solar sailing propulsion enables new missions. Together, small satellites with lightweight instruments and…
A Mission to Nature's Telescope for High-Resolution Imaging of an Exoplanet
Louis D. Friedman, Darren Garber, Slava G. Turyshev +4
The solar gravitational lens (SGL) provides a factor of amplification for viewing distant point sources beyond our solar system. As such, it may be used for resolved imag…
A Fast Response Mission to Rendezvous with an Interstellar Object
Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman, Artur R. Davoyan +4
A solar sail propelled small satellite mission concept to intercept and potentially rendezvous with newly discovered transient interstellar objects (ISOs) is described. The mission…
Exploring the Outer Solar System with Solar Sailing Smallsats on Fast-Transit Trajectories and In-Flight Autonomous Assembly of Advanced Science Payloads
Slava G. Turyshev, Henry Helvajian, Louis D. Friedman +4
We discuss the in-flight autonomous assembly as the means to build advanced planetary science payloads to explore the outer regions of the solar system. These payloads are robotica…
Are there rings around Pluto?
J. J. Rawal, Bijan Nikouravan
Considering effects of tidal plus centrifugal stress acting on icy-rocks and the tensile strength thereof, icy-rocks being in the density range (1-2.4) g cm-3 which had come into e…
Scintillation-Induced Intermittency in SETI
James M. Cordes, T. Joseph W. Lazio, Carl Sagan
We consider interstellar scintillations as a cause of intermittency in radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). We demonstrate that scintillations are very likely to…
