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…
Extending Science from Lunar Laser Ranging
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +18
The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment has accumulated 50 years of range data of improving accuracy from ground stations to the laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) on the lunar su…
Interstellar Now! Missions to and Sample Returns from Nearby Interstellar Objects
Andreas M. Heina, T. Marshall Eubanks, Manasvi Lingam +7
The recently discovered first high velocity hyperbolic objects passing through the Solar System, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, have raised the question about near term missions to I…
Exobodies in Our Back Yard: Science from Missions to Nearby Interstellar Objects
T. Marshall Eubanks, Jean Schneider, Andreas M. Hein +2
The recent discovery of the first confirmed Interstellar Objects (ISOs) passing through the Solar System on clearly hyperbolic objects opens the potential for near term ISO mission…
COMPASS: VLBI Beacons In Support of Lunar Science and Exploration
T. M. Eubanks
The large constellations of spacecraft planned for use in cislunar space (on the Lunar surface, in Lunar orbit, and in the vicinity of the Lunar Gateway) require new solutions for…
Anchored in Shadows: Tying the Celestial Reference Frame Directly to Black Hole Event Horizons
T. M. Eubanks
Both the radio International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the optical Gaia Celestial Reference Frame (Gaia-CRF2) are derived from observations of jets produced by the Super…
