... Holes and Wormholes. Applying the same mathematical tools the development of a dynamic warp drive metric is then described as a possible solution to the interstellar distance barrier. The large negative energy density calculated from the stress-energy tensor required for a reasonable warp bubble radius is also dis- cussed. By demonstrating some of the historical and ...

The issues of mission architecture, vehicle shape, vehicle mass, a Mars base assembly sequence and interior design to form an extendable long-term integrated base ...

... or near our planet (earth magneto-tail/ field) or in our solar system (Sun). Such a comprehensive, operational space weather network will heavily depend on the necessary science and data requirements, and of most importance in this study is to design a practical, affordable, autonomous and versatile space solution composed of multiple spacecraft. The number and configuration ...

The vehicle itself acts as ... -launch vehicle propulsion. Solid propellants do not require as much fuel- chamber strengthening to withstand a hypervelocity launch as do liquid propellants, but traditional solid fuels have lower exhaust velocities than ...

If needed, the prime site can be secured ... configuration, design and construction of the proposed facility, its interior layout, equipment and systems fitouts, a detailed cost estimate, and its deployment. We estimate that the deployment of MARS-OZ could ...

'''JBIS Reference Code ''' - 2005.58.294 '''Number of Pages''' - 4 Abstract A method of launching from the lunar surface is analyzed, in which the payload launched is ... length of 50 km would be sufficient to launch into a lunar escape trajectory. If lower accelerations are desired, the cable length must be proportionately longer. ...

... powered laser is proposed to beam power to InGaN band-gap matched PV located in a station- kept platform, where the received DC power is converted to 2.45 GHz microwave beams for relay to the surface using a phased array. To complete the power transmission link, spatially diverse, 260-m diameter rectennas provide ... an all-weather electric delivery system, to be purposely designed to preclude its use as a power beam weapon at the Earth's surface, and to be delivered to orbit in ...
