Power-4-All

Summary

Space Solar Power (SSP) offers the prospect of a total renewable energy solution to global energy needs, offering social relevance to large-scale space development, the promise of open-ended growth, and the creation of a vast new space energy industry. Ultimate development of a comprehensive SSP infrastructure would be a multinational project calling for trillions of dollars and generations of work. But we propose to, at least, get things started with the practical demonstration of the concept and its principles through the creation of technology demonstrators based on conventional, smaller scale, satellite systems.
