Orbital Chain: A Conceptual Architecture for Space-Based Energy Distribution
Power Chain is a conceptual research proposal describing a distributed orbital architecture for routing and transmitting energy between space-based assets. This publication presents the initial public description of the concept, including its motivation, objectives, high-level system architecture, potential applications, and future research directions. The purpose of this document is to establish the original conceptual framework and provide a foundation for further scientific discussion, simulation, and technical development. This work is intended as a conceptual proposal and does not claim experimental validation or engineering feasibility at this stage. Future versions may include detailed mathematical models, simulations, and engineering analyses.
