The main goal of Stardust’s R&D is to develop the technology required to build a complete SRT system, allowing a safe, controllable, and practical SRT implementation. This is crucial for enabling governments to make informed decisions on the development and possible implementation of such systems.
Our approach differs from most earlier work in two major respects:
1
We begin with the safety and controllability requirements that any SRT system should meet in order to be considered as a viable option for implementation. Our R&D is focused on designing an SRT system that meets these requirements and allows a practical implementation.
2
We develop the technology enabling a complete end-to-end system, including particle fabrication, lofting, and dispersion, and operational monitoring.
