Archimedes Orbital System
The Archimedes program gets its name from the Greek mathematician and engineer who, among other well-known scientific and mathematical accomplishments, theorized that the power of the sun could be harnessed as one of the most valuable tools and formidable forces man might ever wield. We feel he was 2,311 years ahead of his time.
The Archimedes program comprises large superflat structures that can support phased arrays. It is designed to be a rapidly deployable, free-flying on-orbit platform.
