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…
Catching 3I/ATLAS Using a Solar Oberth
Adam Hibberd, T. Marshall Eubanks, Andreas Hein
The third interstellar object to be discovered, 3I/ATLAS, has a unique and continually unfolding story to tell about its nature and origin as it is monitored by telescopes on Earth…
