A HUGE SOLAR COLLECT0R MADE UP OF SOLAR CELLS

A MICRO WAVE ANTENNA ON THE SATELLITE AIMED AT EARTH

AN ANTENNA OCCUPYING A LARGE AREA ON THE EARTH TO COLLECT

THE POWER

EARTH POINTING DISC OF SIZE 3 TO 6 KM DIA .THE DISC IS CONTINUALLY SUN FACING

THE CONCEPT IS ASSUMED TO TRANSMIT 5.8 GHZ FROM AN OPERATIONAL GEO LOCATION AT A TRANSMITTED POWER LEVEL OF 2.8 GW

TO TRANSMITT THE POWER THROUGH OUTER SPACE OR THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE WITHOUT NEED OF WIRES

GENRATED BY USING CAVITY MAGNETRONS

USED TO DIRECTLY CONVERT MICROWAVE ENERGY INTO DC ELECTRICITY

CONSTRUCTED FROM A SCHOTTKY DIODE PLACED BETWEEN ANTENNA DIPOLES

CURRENT RATES ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE RUN BETWEEN $3000 & $5000/POUND

THOUSANDS OF ROCKET LAUNCHES COULD VERY WELL REDUCE THE COSTS BY 10 TO 20 TIMES

THE HIGH CONSTRUCTION COST OF SPS BECOME FAVOURABLE DUE TO THERE LOW COST DELIVERY OF POWER

RENEWABLE ENERGY IS A COMPELLING APPROACH BOTH PHILOSOPHICALLY AND IN ENGINEERING TERMS

SPS APPEAR TO POSSESS MANY SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES WHEN COMPARED TO ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO MEETING THE INCREASED ENERGY DEMAND
