Abstract

Laser Power Beaming for Lunar Night and Permanently Shadowed Regions

Highlights

  • Laser power beaming involves the wireless transfer of power [1, 2], and could provide a revolutionary new way to power robotic systems in permanently shadowed regions (PSR) or a base during the lunar night (Fig. 1)

  • We will detail some of the major subsystems needed for an end‐to‐end laser power beaming system

  • Laser power beaming may be possible from lunar orbit to the surface, providing essential power for key assets during the long lunar night

Summary

Introduction

Laser power beaming involves the wireless transfer of power [1, 2], and could provide a revolutionary new way to power robotic systems in permanently shadowed regions (PSR) or a base during the lunar night (Fig. 1). Laser power beaming could provide power for robotic lunar missions to regions that have limited or no sunlight. Laser power beaming may be possible from lunar orbit to the surface, providing essential power for key assets during the long lunar night.
