High-temperature photovoltaics for solar-electric Oberth maneuvers: ton-class payload feasibility for interstellar-precursor missions
Nadim Maraqten, Willem van Lynden, Carlos Gómez de Olea Ballester +1
In-situ exploration beyond the giant planets remains rare because timely Solar System escape demands very high specific orbital energy, which existing concepts typically achieve on…
Science from the In Situ Exploration of the Proxima Centauri System
T. Marshall Eubanks, Jean Schneider, Bruce Bills +11
In the future interstellar exploration at near-relativistic speeds will be possible using beamed energy laser propulsion. With this, spacecraft as small as gm mass picospacecraft b…
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…
