Scientific paper

Dispersions of the lunar mass-driver payload stream are calculated from the predominant forces in the near-lunar environment. The forces included are the solar radiation pressure, solar forces, and micrometeorite impacts on the payloads. The light pressure and solar wind forces are found to be much more significant than the other forces mentioned. Dispersions can be kept to within a few meters if the following conditions are met: (1) the payloads should be spherical and have uniform albedoes; (2) the payloads should have constant mass to within a few tenths of a percent.
