Interstellar flyby scientific data downlink design
David Messerschmitt, Philip Lubin, Ian Morrison
The design of a downlink communication system for returning scientific data from an interstellar flyby probe is reviewed in this tutorial white paper. It its assumed that the probe…
Optimal mass and speed for interstellar flyby with directed-energy propulsion
David Messerschmitt, Philip Lubin, Ian Morrison
The design of mission scenarios for the flyby investigation of nearby star systems by probes launched using directed energy is addressed. Multiple probes are launched with a fixed…
Relaying Swarms of Low-Mass Interstellar Probes
David Messerschmitt, Philip Lubin, Ian Morrison
Low-mass probes propelled by directed energy from earth are an early option for exploration of nearby star systems. A challenging aspect of such technology is returning scientific…
Technological Challenges in Low-mass Interstellar Probe Communication
David Messerschmitt, Philip Lubin, Ian Morrison
Building on a preliminary paper design of a downlink from a swarm of low-mass interstellar probes for returning scientific data from the vicinity of Proxima Centauri, the most crit…
Challenges in Scientific Data Communication from Low-Mass Interstellar Probes
David Messerschmitt, Philip Lubin, Ian Morrison
A downlink for the return of scientific data from space probes at interstellar distances is studied. The context is probes moving at relativistic speed using a terrestrial directed…
The Application of Autocorrelation SETI Search Techniques in an ATA Survey
G. R. Harp, R. F. Ackermann, Alfredo Astorga +9
We report a novel radio autocorrelation (AC) search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). For selected frequencies across the terrestrial microwave window (1-10 GHz) observatio…
