Solar Power Satellite
The objective of the solar power satellite (SPS) is to
convert solar energy in space for use on earth. Its most significant benefit is
the potential for continuously generating large-scale electric power for
distribution on a global basis The SPS system is outlined, and the status of
the SPS concept development is reviewed Assessments of key issues are reported
including economic considerations and environmental issues as well as physical
resource requirements.
International SPS-related activities within the context
of evolving space programs are discussed An approach for an evolutionary
advancement of SPS to meet requirements for power supplied for use on earth and
in space is presented and a growth path to achieving the potential of power
from space for use on earth is outlined.
