Herakles Architecture

The Impulse Engine is a revolutionary device that leverages kinetic energy from arriving spacecraft to generate electricity through regenerative braking. This energy is then utilized to launch partner spacecraft, transforming space hardware from expendable to reusable. With the potential to significantly reduce costs for round-trip travel to destinations like geosynchronous orbit, the Moon, and beyond, this technology suggests new frontiers in space exploration. Developed by Philip A. Turek, it promises advancements for lunar bases and Mars missions.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Herakles Architecture Kinetic Energy is viewed as an in-situ resource. An Impulse Engine (formerly named a Recycler, or a CataMitt Recycler) is a large device that extracts kinetic energy from an arriving spacecraft, converts it into electricity via regenerative braking, and immediately applies that electricity to launch a partner spacecraft. This enables space hardware to shift from being primarily expendable to being primarily reusable in nature. While it has constraints, it also has a significant potential to reduce the cost of round trip space travel between select destinations, such as a Molniya orbit, geosynchronous orbit, and the Moon.
