München

Current Research Topics

Energy supply

Energytransfer over lond

distances

Rope

Due to its weight, steel ropes tear

if longer than 4 km

Carbon Nano Tubes

Graphen

Power Beaming (Laser,

Microwaves)

Solarcells

Reasons for building

a space elevator

Costs/benefits

Resusable

Expensive fuel is not needed

New applications

Prize for a kg of payload decreases

from 20.000 to 100$ pro kg

Security

No explosive fuels

No „hot“ reentry

Project – Interstellar Space Flight (ISF)

WARR Interstellar Flight

• Founded in Juli 2009

• Members: 4

Vision:

• World-wide leading think tank on

manned interstellar flight

Mission:

• High-quality publications for the scientific

community and the public

Goals of Hyperion


45

During the next two years as part of Icarus Interstellar

„State-of-the-art“ study for a manned

interstellar spacecraft

Cross-domain: ECLSS, thermal, propulsion…

Use of today´s and of near future

technologies

Identification of technology development Summerford 2012

München

Is interstellar space flight possible with

today´s and near future technology?

a) How can human life be enabled and sustained in an

interstellar spacecraft?

b) How can knowledge be restored and

transfered?

c) How can longterm presence at the target

star system be established?
