About this document
Laser-Trapped Mirrors in Space Feasibility by Clifford Stone is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses a feasibility study for a concept called Laser-Trapped Mirrors (LTM) which uses lasers to trap microscopic particles in space to form a reflective surface for telescopes. It outlines key challenges such as particle evaporation over time, dynamical simulations, and damping mechanisms needed to increase trapping times. Next steps identified include designing particles that balance absorption, reflection and size properties, modeling particle interactions numerically, and conducting zero
