We present initial results of an ongoing engineering study on the feasibility of a space mission to the focal region of the solar gravitational lens (SGL). The mission goal is to c…
A Mission to Nature's Telescope for High-Resolution Imaging of an Exoplanet
Louis D. Friedman, Darren Garber, Slava G. Turyshev +4
The solar gravitational lens (SGL) provides a factor of amplification for viewing distant point sources beyond our solar system. As such, it may be used for resolved imag…
A Fast Response Mission to Rendezvous with an Interstellar Object
Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman, Artur R. Davoyan +4
A solar sail propelled small satellite mission concept to intercept and potentially rendezvous with newly discovered transient interstellar objects (ISOs) is described. The mission…
