Power Beaming for Deep Space and Permanently Shadowed Regions
Abstract
Power beaming involves the wireless transfer of power, and could provide a revolutionary new way to power spacecraft and vehicles operating in difficult to access regions. Power beaming has the potential to represent an alternative solution to power spacecraft and landers where sunlight is unavailable. It could provide a source of power to robotic systems in permanently shadowed regions or power landers and rovers from orbiting spacecraft (e.g.,Moon, Mars, Europa, Enceladeus, Miranda).
