Direct Radiation Pressure Measurements for Lightsail Membranes
Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg +4
Ultrathin lightsails propelled by laser radiation pressure to relativistic speeds are currently the most promising route for flyby-based exoplanet exploration. However, there has b…
Dynamically Stable Radiation Pressure Propulsion of Flexible Lightsails for Interstellar Exploration
Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Harry A. Atwater
Lightsail spacecraft, propelled to relativistic velocities via photon pressure using high power density laser radiation, offer a potentially new route to space exploration within a…
A Lightweight Space-based Solar Power Generation and Transmission Satellite
Behrooz Abiri, Manan Arya, Florian Bohn +17
We propose a novel design for a lightweight, high-performance space-based solar power array combined with power beaming capability for operation in geosynchronous orbit and transmi…
