Abstract

A dozen or more orbiting solar generators stay in constant touch. They can be congregated rapidly in space at any desired secret location. Once congregated they all focus their energy to a death star. This death star is a newly launched ICBM with a microwave or laser collector. A laser generator uses this huge energy to project a non-nuclear death ray to a target. The target could be a city, a ship or a satellite. In the event of an asteroid approaching earth, this system could destroy an asteroid. In peacetime the orbiting solar generators supply electric power to an earth based power grid.

Claims

1. A space based weapons system comprising:

a plurality of orbiting solar powered cells;

each of said cells comprising an onboard computer and transceiver;

said onboard computer capable of receiving an instruction to move to a space location over the earth using an onboard thruster assembly;

each of said cells comprising a solar energy transmitting means functioning to send an energy ray to a first target;

said first target comprising an orbiting laser weapon having an onboard energy storage device;

wherein said energy storage device can receive energy from the plurality of orbiting solar powered cells; and

wherein said orbiting laser weapon can fire a laser beam at an acquired target using energy from the energy storage device.

2. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of orbiting solar powered cells and its solar energy transmitting means provides an energy beam to earth which is converted into electric energy on a grid.

3. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the first target and its orbiting laser weapon and its onboard energy storage device further comprise an onboard coordinating computer and earth transceiver, said on board coordinating computer further comprising a communicating link to the plurality of orbiting solar powered cells so as to coordinate a designated locating pattern of the plurality of orbiting solar powered cells to direct their respective energy rays to the onboard energy storage device on the first target.

4. The weapons system of claim 3, wherein the first target further comprises a component from an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

5. The weapons system of claim 4, wherein the first target further comprises a component of an earth based defense system that deploys the first target to a designated orbit and directs the first target to acquire its acquired target and fire its laser beam, said earth based defense system also directs the plurality of orbiting solar powered cells to rendezvous with the first target.

6. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the instruction to move to a space location is sent by an earth transceiver.

7. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the instruction to move to a space location is sent by an orbiting solar powered cell.

8. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the instruction to move to a space location is sent by a space vehicle.

9. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the onboard energy storage device further comprises a super capacitor.

10. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the solar energy transmitting means energy ray further comprises a microwave energy ray.

11. The weapons system of claim 1, wherein the solar energy transmitting means energy ray further comprises a laser energy ray.
