The program of ISBEP 6 will cover ALL aspects related to the science and
technology of beamed-energy propulsion in its various forms and
applications. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
» basic science and technology of laser,
microwave, x-ray and particle-beam propulsion and micropropulsion
(microthrusters);
» applications of BEP
beyond the space propulsion (hypervelocity impacts, nano-mechanics, robotic
transport, etc.);
» beamed energy for
propulsion in microspace (micronautics, BEP nano-vehicles);
» BEP mission and system
analysis;
» BEP for interstellar
missions;
» power-beamed photon
sails;
» hybrid and auxiliary
BEP systems;
» beam-propelled
aircraft;
» BEP flight
experiments;
» lasers and other
sources for BEP;
» beam generation,
guidance and propagation for propulsion;
» new BEP concepts;
» directed-energy
airspikes;
» research facilities
for BEP tests;
» economics, geography,
politics, law and history of BEP.
