Opportunities for Technosignature Science in the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Reza Ashtari, James Benford +13
Solar system exploration provides numerous possibilities for advancing technosignature science. The search for life in the solar system includes missions designed to search for evi…
Concepts for future missions to search for technosignatures
Hector Socas-Navarro, Jacob Haqq-Misra, Jason T. Wright +4
New and unique opportunities now exist to look for technosignatures (TS) beyond traditional SETI radio searches, motivated by tremendous advances in exoplanet science and observing…
Looking for Lurkers
James Benford
A recently discovered group of nearby co-orbital objects is an attractive location for extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) to locate a probe to observe Earth while not being easily…
Power Beaming Leakage Radiation as a SETI Observable
James N. Benford, Dominic J. Benford
The most observable leakage radiation from an advanced civilization may well be from the use of power beaming to transfer energy and accelerate spacecraft. Applications suggested f…
Starship Sails Propelled by Cost-Optimized Directed Energy
James Benford
Microwave propelled sails are a new class of spacecraft using photon acceleration. It is the only method of interstellar flight that has no physics issues. Laboratory demonstration…
Costs and Difficulties of Large-Scale 'Messaging', and the Need for International Debate on Potential Risks
John Billingham, James Benford
We advocate international consultations on societal and technical issues to address the risk problem, and a moratorium on future METI transmissions until such issues are resolved.…
