Key technology enablers
Even with existing terrestrial photovoltaic panels, solar generation is now cheaper in high orbit thanks to ideal sun pointing and ~100% daylight.
Rovial will press this advantage by racing ahead to adapt solar thermal power generation for orbit, resulting in cheaper satellites with increased longevity and high power throughputs.
Key technology enablers
Robotic assembly and repair allows pressurized structures with indefinite lifespans and massive power generation structures which are impossible in a gravity well.
External crawler robots with patching capabilities will repair debris holes and structures.
On-orbit assembly allows massive and cheap reflectors and radiators for space solar thermal power generation.
Key technology enablers
Lunar water deposits provide a source of propellantremoved from the deep gravity well of Earth.
Using abundant solar power to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen provides the first truly valuable orbital fuel depot in history.
Key technology enablers
Chipsets developed for the space environment lag decades behind the state of the art, primarily due to radiation and vacuum thermal environment.
Pressurized and shielded payload bays will allow off the shelf processors and servers to be used in space with negligible added development effort.
Eventual expansion of payload bays allows a shirtsleeves environment that can be used for many applications, including human occupation and repair.
Key technology enablers
The killer application near-term is datacasting and data processing from high orbit
Leveraging unused millimeter wave frequency bands, like W for which Rovial already applied, and with novel inclined orbit designs, Rovial will provide the highest throughput and lowest cost mobile service per bit for datacasting
New business models in space are being enabled with 10x to 100x reduction in launch cost and the advancement of AI-driven robotics technology.
Business models that nearly worked in the past are suddenly feasible, and completely novel concepts are now within reach.
Incredible opportunities await by spreading the space revolution from LEO to GEO and beyond.
Permanent settlements in and around the Moon: Artemis, Moon Village, Lunar Gateway, DearMoon, etc...
Mars and human exploration: NASA and ESA robotic missions, SpaceX Mars Colony, etc...
New businesses in space: datacasting, data processing, in-space assembly, planetar and lunar resource extraction and processing
Easier integration of existing terrestrial technology into Space to advance technology and reduce costs and development times
Increased and more flexible use of novel and high-altitude orbits to preventcrowding and collisions
More electrical power and propellant needed at a lower cost
Increased accessibility to new orbits with better propulsion
