Conceptual spacecraft power intake, rectenna or optical receiver, and distribution to high-field engine stages.
The research notes suggest receiving high-power beamed energy during boost or ignition and supplementing with onboard power. Receiver conversion, pointing and thermal rejection dominate the practical challenge.
02 / CONNECTIONS AND BOUNDARIESNo demonstrated remote-power source, transfer range, alignment tolerance or closed spacecraft power budget is provided. Claimed conversion figures are study assumptions.
Can source brightness, pointing, range and receiver efficiency support an end-to-end power and waste-heat balance?
