Shaping the Sail: Metamaterials and the Manipulation of Light

Experimenting on beamed energy and sailcraft is no easy matter, as I hope the previous post made clear. Although useful laboratory experiments have been run, the challenges involved in testing for sail stability under a beam and sail deployment are hard to surmount in Earth’s gravity well. They’re also demanding in terms of equipment, for we need both the appropriate lasers and vacuum chambers that can approximate the conditions the sail will be See the Story

Experimenting on an Interstellar Sail

The idea of beaming a propulsive force to a sail in space is now sixty years old, if we take Robert Forward’s first publications on it into account. The gigantic mass ratios necessary to build a rocket that could reach interstellar distances were the driver of Forward’s imagination, as he realized in 1962 that the only way to make an interstellar spacecraft was to separate the energy source and the reaction mass from the vehicle.

Ernst Öpik and the Interstellar Idea

Some names seem to carry a certain magic, at least when we’re young. I think back to all the hours I used to haunt St. Louis-area libraries when I was growing up. I would go to the astronomy section and start checking out books until over time I had read the bulk of what was available there. Fred Hoyle’s name was magic because he wrote The Black Cloud, one of the first science fiction novels I ever read. So naturally I followed his work on how stSee the Story

SETI’s Hard Steps (and How to Resolve Them)

The idea of life achieving a series of plateaus, each of which is a long and perilous slog, has serious implications for SETI. It was Brandon Carter, now at the Laboratoire Univers et Théories in Meudon, France, who proposed the notion of such ‘hard steps’ back in the early 1980s. Follow-up work by a number of authors, especially Frank Tipler and John Barrow (The Anthropic Cosmological Principle) has refined the concept and added to the steps CarSee the Story

Pandora: Exoplanet Atmospheres via Smallsat

I’ve been digging into NASA’s Small Spacecraft Strategic Plan out of continuing interest in missions that take advantage of miniaturization to do things once consigned to large-scale craft. And I was intrigued to learn about the small spacecraft deployed on Apollo 15 and 16, two units developed by TRW in a series called Particles and Fields Subsatellites. Each weighed 35 kilograms and was powered by six solar panels and rechargeable batteries. ThSee the Story

What Would Surprise You?

What Would Surprise You?

Someone asked me the other day what it would take to surprise me. In other words, given the deluge of data coming in from all kinds of observatories, what one bit of news would set me back on my heels? That took some reflection. Would it surprise me, my interlocutor persisted, if SETI fails to find another civilization in my lifetime? The answer to that is no, because I approach SETI without expectations. My guess is that intelligence in the univSee the Story

Pondering Life in an Alien Ocean

No one ever said Europa Clipper would be able to detect life beneath the ice, but as we look at the first imagery from the spacecraft’s star-tracking cameras, it’s helpful to keep the scope of the mission in mind. We’re after some critical information here, such as the thickness of the ice shell, the interactions between shell and underlying ocean, the composition of that ocean. All of these should give us a better idea of whether this tiny worl…See the Story
