Radiation Effects from ISM and Cosmic Ray Particle Impacts on Relativistic Spacecraft
Philip Lubin, Alexander N. Cohen, Jacob Erlikhman
Relativistic spacecraft, like those proposed by the NASA Starlight program and the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, will have to survive radiation production that is unique when c…
Damage to Relativistic Interstellar Spacecraft by ISM Impact Gas Accumulation
Jon Drobny, Alexander N. Cohen, Davide Curreli +3
As part of the NASA Starlight collaboration, we look at the implications of radiation effects from impacts with the interstellar medium (ISM) on a directed energy driven relativist…
Directed Energy Interception of Satellites
Harrison She, Will Hettel, Philip Lubin
High power Earth and orbital-based directed energy (DE) systems pose a potential hazard to Earth orbiting spacecraft. The use of very high power, large aperture DE systems to prope…
