Continuous Power Beaming to Lunar Far Side from EMLP-2 Halo Orbit
This paper focuses on FSO-based wireless power transmission (WPT) from Earth-Moon Lagrangian Point-2 (EMLP-2) to a receiver optical antenna equipped with solar cells that can be located anywhere on the lunar far side (LFS). Different solar-powered satellite (SPS) configurations which are EMLP-2 located single stable satellite and EMLP-2 halo orbit revolving single, double, and triple satellites are evaluated in terms of 100% LFS surface coverage percentage (SCP) and continuous Earth visibility. It is found that an equidistant triple satellite scheme on EMLP-2 halo orbit with a semi-major axis length of 15,000 km provides full SCP for LFS and it is essential for the continuous LFS wireless power transmission. In our proposed dynamic cislunar space model, geometric and temporal parameters of the Earth-Moon systems are used in affine transformations. Our dynamic model enables us to determine the full coverage time rate of a specific region such as the LFS southern pole. The outcomes show that the equidistant double satellite scheme provides SCP=100% during 88.60% time of these satellites' single revolution around the EMLP-2 halo orbit. Finally, the probability density function (PDF) of the random harvested power $P_H$ is determined and it validates the simulation data extracted from the stable EMLP-2 satellite and revolving satellite around EMLP-2 halo orbit for minimum and maximum LoS distances. Although the pointing devices to mitigate random misalignment errors are considered for the stable and revolving SPSs, better pointing accuracy is considered for the stable satellite. Our simulations show that the probability of $P_H\le$41.6 W is around 0.5 for the stable satellite whereas the CDF=0.99 for the revolving satellite case for a transmit power of 1 kW.
