• Spacetenna Flatness and Error Correction 

  Kragt Finnell, Abigail J.; Heng, Penghui; Powell, Sawyer H.; Schubert, Peter J. (IEEE, 2019-10)

  Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) from space-to-earth at a large scale will not be possible until the Side Lobe Levels (SLL) are reduced many orders of magnitude from the current technology available today. To accomplish this, ...
• Plasma Extraction of Metals in Space 

  Schubert, Peter J. (Juniper Publishers, 2019-11)

  Extraction of purified metals from extraterrestrial materials can be accomplished in several ways, such as beneficiation, hydrogen reduction, recovery of spent rockets, direct melting of iron meteorites, and plasma isotope ...
• Antenna Arrangement Verification for Low Sidelobe Levels 

  Kragt Finnell, Abigail J.; Schubert, Peter J. (IEEE, 2019)

  Space-to-earth Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) in large scale will not be allowed unless the side lobe levels (SLL) can be reduced many orders of magnitude lower than the current technology allows. In particular, high SLL ...
• Abandoned Mine Voids for Pumped Storage Hydro 

  Schubert, Peter J.; Izadian, Afshin; Wheeler, J. W. (Juniper Publishers, 2019)

  Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) is geographically limited but can expand greatly if abandoned subsurface coal mines are leveraged for the lower reservoir. Such lands are already permitted, generally less desirable, and found ...
• Nuclear Power from Lunar ISRU 

  Schubert, Peter J. (Juniper Publishers, 2019)

  Thorium on the lunar surface can be transmuted into fissile uranium suitable for a controlled chain reaction to provide heat. Thorium is fertile, requiring bombardment by neutrons to become a suitable nuclear fuel. Oxides ...
• Developing a PV and Energy Storage Sizing Methodology for Off-Grid Transactive Microgrids 

  Vance, David; Razban, Ali; Schubert, Peter J.; Weissbach, Robert (2019-05)
