Strategic Objectives
• Master the orbital mechanics of the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point.
• Explore cutting-edge materials science for ultra-thin space membranes.
• Understand the logistics of the largest engineering project in human history.
• Evaluate the geopolitical and ethical frameworks of solar radiation management.
The Core Challenge
As terrestrial climate interventions struggle with atmospheric complexity, we face the urgent need for a precise, reversible, and orbital-scale cooling mechanism.
