Project Forward (interstellar)

Hypothetical technology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Project Forward was launched in 2011 with the purpose of exploring beamed energy propulsion. The project aims to analyze and assess past beamed-powered concepts, describe the construction of sail designs, and provide a starsail system concept. Challenges include lossy divergence of the beam as well as sail design at feasible sizes.[1][2]
