论文摘要
在本文中，介绍了一种新型的航天器的概念和设计，该航天器可用于进行第一批载人的星际旅行。太阳能将整合三种近期技术，即：紧凑的核融合反应堆，极大的光帆和高能激光阵列。建议用阳光推动帆的镜头或镜子系统，以替代激光推进。凭借长时间的轻型帆，太阳能一平均可以达到光速的平均22％，借助Bussard Scoop产生反向电磁推进，在不到19年的时间内到达了最接近的潜在居住外系列。主要挑战是减少连续波激光器和紧凑型融合反应器的重量，以及达到低温和人工重力。
In this paper it is presented the concept and design of a new type of spacecraft that could be used to make the first manned interstellar travel. Solar one would integrate three near-term technologies, namely: compact nuclear fusion reactors, extremely large light sails, and high-energy laser arrays. A system of lenses or mirrors to propel the sail with sunlight is suggested as an alternative to laser propulsion. With a mile-long light sail, Solar One could reach an average of 22% the speed of light, arriving to the closest potentially habitable exoplanet in less than 19 years with the help of a Bussard scoop producing reverse electromagnetic propulsion. Key challenges are reducing the weight of continuous-wave lasers and compact fusion reactors as well as achieving cryo-sleep and artificial gravity.
