Electromagnetic pulse scattering by a spacecraft nearing light speed

Electromagnetic pulse scattering by a spacecraft nearing light speed

Humans will launch spacecraft that travel at an appreciable fraction of the speed of light. Spacecraft traffic will be tracked by radar. Scattering of pulsed electromagnetic fields by an object in uniform translational motion at relativistic speed may be computed using the frame-hopping technique. Pulse scattering depends strongly on the …
