Description
Envisioning a multiplanet life solar system with high power orbital lasers (GEO or Lagrange) for uG transit with Dr. Young Bae, Founder of PTL and YK Bae Corp. Learn about advantages of Beam Laser Propulsion (BLP) for up to 3000 km/sec and Photon Laser Thrusters (PLT) for up to 3k-10,000 km/sec delta V with potential to launch cargo to nearby planets Mars and Venus within a few weeks and Earth to Moon in 14-20 hours. Topics include YAG laser, active resonant optical cavity, primary and secondary mirror, first cubesat laser beam ground 2008 demo, (Yb:YAG) thin-disk gain medium and network of high reflectance lightweight mirrors, laser/solar sails, and more ! https://ykbcorp.com/  First Demonstration of Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT), Proceedings of the High-Power Laser Ablation, SPIE, Taos,  pp. 700510 (2008).https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265813101  Prospective of Photon Propulsion for Interstellar Flight, Physics Procedia, Vol. 38, pp. 253 – 279 (2012).https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268423813  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347522562  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRW2JZXA8wg --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/frontierspace/support
