Tracking the Activity of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS through its Perihelion
T. Marshall Eubanks, Craig E. DeForest, Kevin J. Walsh +10
In order to facilitate interplanetary spacecraft observationsof 3I/ATLAS, we have monitored and predicted the optical properties of its coma using both ground and space-based obser…
Study of Venera Spacecraft Trajectories and Wider Implications
Adam Hibberd
Historically, there is no doubt that the early years of the USSR space program put them way ahead of the competition (the USA). Nonetheless, although this was not what the Russians…
Preliminary Analysis into the Feasibility of Missions to Asteroid 2024 YR
Adam Hibberd, Thomas Marshall Eubanks
Recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR has an orbital period of almost exactly 4 years, a descending node located almost exactly 1 au from the Sun, with a perihelion slightly les…
Minimum Safe Distances for DE-STAR Space Lasers
Adam Hibberd
The prospect of phased laser arrays in space has received considerable attention in recent years, with applications to both planetary defence and space exploration. The most detail…
A light sail astrobiology precursor mission to Enceladus and Europa
Manasvi Lingam, Adam Hibberd, Andreas M. Hein
Icy moons with subsurface oceans of liquid water rank among the most promising astrobiological targets in our Solar System. In this work, we assess the feasibility of deploying las…
Swarming Proxima Centauri: Optical Communication Over Interstellar Distances
T. Marshall Eubanks, W. Paul Blase, Andreas Hein +2
Interstellar communications are achievable with gram-scale spacecraft using swarm techniques introduced herein if an adequate energy source, clocks and a suitable communications pr…
