We’re ecstatic with its ongoing success in orbit,” said Chris DePuma, SWELL Program Manager.
“Though small in scale, SWELL is a critical first step in the investigation of laser power beaming in space. To NRL’s knowledge, in addition to being the first laser power beaming demonstration in space, this also represents the highest power, longest distance, and most efficient power beaming demonstration in orbit of any type. The power beaming link distance is 1.45 meters. SWELL has been providing nearly continuously about 1.5 watts at the power beaming receiver’s output with an end-to-end efficiency around 11%, more than ten times the team’s efficiency goal. Department of Defense Space Test Program (STP) H9 mission. It resides on the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the U.S. Launched on March 14, 2023, this experiment represents the first successful instance of laser power beaming in space.
Naval Research Laboratory’s (NRL) Space Wireless Energy Laser Link (SWELL) surpassed 100 days of successful on-orbit laser operations on June 29, 2023, coinciding with the NRL’s 100th birthday celebration. Plus it offers a realistic, interactive educational experience for students of all ages.The U.S. I think of it as “Living Theatre” with guests as part of the experience. Visitors can touch finely carved wooden inlays, grasp the wheel on the captain’s bridge, tap out messages on the ship’s wireless, feel an iceberg’s chill, stroll decks and galleries and listen to stories told by real survivors. I want to share as closely as possible with guests what Titanic’s actual passengers and crew experienced aboard ship. Inside, guests enter a unique world where they can climb an exact replica of the most famous staircase- Titanic’s hand-crafted Grand Staircase. These giant museum attractions exhibit one of the largest permanent collections of Titanic artifacts and memorabilia. It started with TV shows and became these permanent Titanic Museum Attractions in Branson, MO and Pigeon Forge, TN. I’ve dedicated my career to her and the 2,208 passengers and crew aboard its tragic maiden voyage. After 30 years Titanic remains my magnificent obsession.
