Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication satellites are a $144 billion industry. Is there any space-based industry that could possibly beat that market? 'Solar Power Satellites' shows why and how the space satellite industry will soon begin expanding its market from relaying signals to Earth to generating energy in space and delivering it to the ground as electricity. In all industrialized nations, energy demand is growing exponentially. In the developing world, the need for energy is as basic as food and water. The Sun's energy is available everywhere, and it is non-polluting. As business plans demonstrate its technical feasibility, commercial potential, and environmental acceptability, every country on Earth will look to space for the power it needs.

Book excerpt: During energy crisis at the end of the Sixties, a new idea to exploit solar energy arose: Solar Power Satellites. These satellites need a huge surface to collect enough solar energy to be beamed on Earth by means of a microwave power transfer system. Different concepts appeared during last forty years and a lot of studies addressing the SPS economical feasibility have been published. In this work a particular concept is considered, the JAXA Reference Concept 2003. It is a formation flying SPS, composed by two reflectors and a central array panel. The objective of the work is to study two major problems this concept presents. Due to its dimensions, the satellite orbit will suffer from important orbital perturbations and since formation flying satellites need a tight orbit control, the first task is to derive an analytical approximation to perform relative perturbed orbit propagation for formation flying satellite. This objective is pursued starting from a H. Schaub’s formulation in which formation flying satellites unperturbed orbit is described by means of an approximated relation function of orbital element differences. This formulation is merged with another approach, developed in a previous work, which gives, analytically, orbital parameters variation when a perturbation acts on the spacecraft. The result is a very interesting algorithm, able to perform the assigned task with a relative error lower than 3% over one simulated orbit. The second objective concerns structural control. It is not possible to consider these huge satellites as rigid bodies, first natural frequencies will be certainly excited during operations. So that, the second task is the study of actuator placement optimization for flexible satellites, very useful for tight pointing requirements. A FEM model is developed modeling the SPS as a frame of beams and a global controllability index is obtained combining modal controllability and component cost analysis. The maximization of this parameter,

Book excerpt: Solar power satellites, if developed, could supply a large proportion of the world's future electrical energy requirements in a safe and pollution-free manner. However, such enormous orbiting structures, with masses of up to 100000 tonnes, can only be built and operated if suitable transportation systems are provided. This Report reviews the options available for lifting both heavy payloads and personnel to low earth orbit, and from there to geostationary orbit. It is concluded that conventional launcher technology, using liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engines, should be adequate for the former task. The latter can best be accomplished using electric propulsion, with ion thrusters being the most suitable devices, owing to their high efficiency and advanced state of development. Environmental effects of such a transportation system are considered, and it is concluded that they should not prove to be unacceptable. (Author).

Book excerpt: A look at ways to collect solar power in space with satellites and beam that power down to Earth to supplement our other sources of electricity. In addition, this is a look at novel ways, to say the least, to construct those satellites. The witnesses at these Senate hearings envision a time when space will be the scene of bustling activity. They foresee construction of gigantic facilities that will provide the world with energy, which is an essential and increasingly costly part of our industrial society.
