Hey, so I'm currently wondering what makes up a Solaris satellite. What would be key components in a relay that could realistically be used for a relay?

Sorry. I'm the local science guy.
WHALE NYE THE SCIENCE GUY Anyways. DID YOU KNOW THAT The concept of "Storing" light is impractical due to the fact that it's, well, Light. So either one of two possible explanations can be used. 1: It's Microwaves. Which is basically how most modern "Orbital solar power" concepts work. 2: The power is not stored, but simply an immediate burst. AND NOW YOU KNOW The fact that it operates somewhat like a C&C3 Ion Cannon, implies the beam is being "Focused" when fired, which wouldn't really work with a microwave, however. But why does it have a cooldown? Does the lens simply get too hot from focusing all that light, especially since space is lousy for dissipating heat? Is that why they can't simply keep it focused? Then how do the "big" satellites work? Do they have multiple satellites rotating into each station in order to keep heat levels functional? Does a satellite have multiple dishes arrayed gatling-style to deal with the heat? This post has been edited by Serialkillerwhale: 12 Aug 2016, 11:25 -------------------- |
