Hyperion: Orbital Magnetospheric Energy Harvesting Architecture – Technical Summary Rev. 1

Project Hyperion proposes a conceptual modular orbital architecture for investigating the theoretical feasibility of harvesting energy from charged particles trapped within planetary magnetospheres, particularly the Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts. The document explores particle capture, magnetic confinement, energy conversion, and orbital-to-ground transmission systems within a scalable multi-module framework. Hyperion is presented as an early-stage theoretical and engineering concept intended to stimulate further investigation into advanced orbital energy harvesting infrastructures.
