Cosmic Beacons:/宇宙信标: Deploying Atomic Communication Nodes on Celestial Bodies to Enable Long-Term Solar System Governance/在天体上部署原子通信节点以实现长期太阳系治理
Executive Summary / 执行摘要 This white paper presents a long-term strategic framework for deploying atomic-powered communication devices—termed Cosmic Beacons—on comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. These devices would constitute a decentralized, resilient, and durable communications and observation infrastructure to support a comprehensive and inclusive solar system governance model. 本白皮书提出一项长期战略框架,即在彗星、小行星及其他天体上部署原子能通信设备,称为“宇宙信标”。这些设备将构建一个去中心化、具韧性与耐久性的通信与观测基础设施,以支持全面且包容的太阳系治理模式。
1. Introduction / 引言 The future of #spacegovernance requires infrastructures that transcend planetary and generational boundaries. A stable, self-sustaining #solar #communications grid, positioned on mobile celestial platforms, would ensure continuous interplanetary coordination and establish symbolic commitments to civilizational longevity. 未来的太空治理亟需超越行星与代际界限的基础设施。部署在移动天体上的稳定、自给自足的太阳系通信网络,将确保星际之间持续协调,并确立人类文明延续的象征性承诺。
