Project Dragonfly (space Study)
Project Dragonfly is the first conceptual design study that assesses the feasibility of a laser-propelled interstellar probe, conducted by the Initiative for Interstellar Studies.Leonard David, "Pushing the Boundaries: Initiative for Interstellar Studies/ref>Next Big Future, "Project Dragonfly is competition to design interstellar laser sail probes that would be technological feasible by 2034 and launched by 2050/ref> Contrary to past unmanned interstellar travel, interstellar mission studies such as Project Daedalus and Project Icarus, the focus is particularly on a small spacecraft. The project was founded in 2013 by the Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is). A subsequent design competition was launched in 2014. The objective was to design a spacecraft that is capable of reaching Alpha Centauri within 100 years using existing or near-term technologies and a beam power below . Four teams presented their designs at the final workshop at the British Interplanetary Socie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
