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.

In March 2000, NASA's Office of Space Flight asked the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of the National Research Council to perform an independent assessment of the space solar power program's technology investment strategy to determine its technical soundness and its contribution to the roadmap that NASA has developed for this program. The program's investment strategy was to be evaluated in the context of its likely effectiveness in meeting the program's technical and economic objectives.

Space-based solar power (SBSP) is a concept for a revolutionary energy system. It involves placing into orbit stupendously large orbital power plants--kilometers across--which collect the sun's raw energy and beam it down to where it is needed on the earth. In theory, SBSP could scale to meet all of humanity's energy needs, providing virtually unlimited green, renewable power to an energy-hungry world. With growing international awareness of energy security challenges, the promise of space-based solar power for clean and unlimited energy for all humankind is certainly appealing. While significant progress continues in the enabling technologies of such systems, is there compelling evidence that space-based solar power systems will provide the best energy solution? How does the Army's current approach to incorporating a diverse portfolio of renewable energy sources in distributed locations compare with the potential of enterprise ventures that beam energy from solar collectors in space? For more than 4 decades, many credible organizations in government and industry have explored the concept of space-based solar power. But their serious studies often conclude that such systems remain on the future horizon, usually at least 10 years away from practical application. This book posits that, while space-based solar power systems may be technically feasible, there is no compelling evidence that such systems will be economically or operationally competitive with terrestrial-power generation systems in use or in development. However, this book does find that there may be some utility in the limited application of space-based solar power to enable operations in remote and forward operating locations.

With growing international awareness of energy security challenges, the promise of space-based solar power for clean and unlimited energy for all humankind is certainly appealing. While significant progress continues in the enabling technologies of such systems, is there compelling evidence that space-based solar power systems will provide the best energy solution? How does the Army's current approach to incorporating a diverse portfolio of renewable energy sources in distributed locations compare to the potential of enterprise ventures that beam energy from solar collectors in space? For over 4 decades, many credible organizations in government and industry have explored the concept of space-based solar power, but their serious studies often conclude that such systems remain on the future horizon, usually at least 10 years away from practical application. While space-based solar power systems may be technically feasible, the author believes there is no compelling evidence that such systems will be economically or operationally competitive with terrestrial power generation systems in use or in development. However, he does find that there may be some utility in the limited application of space-based solar power to enable operations in remote and forward operating locations.This monograph has three main sections - 1) Technical Assessment introduces the basic concept of space-based solar power(SBSP). Plus, this section summarizes the evolution of the concept's development and examines the critical technologies required for the successful development of the space, ground, and support elements of this system.2) Economic Assessment examines SBSP systems as well as current international efforts in this field. 3) Operational Assessment explores the strategic consideration for SBSP system within the general context of national space operations. This work focuses on the Army's renewable energy plans and case study projects through 2025 by using solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy generation technologies to determine their efficiency, economic effectiveness, and technical development feasibility. Audience: Renewable energy developers and suppliers as well as American citizens interested in research of the Army's research projects on renewable energy would benefit from this resource. Policymakers, analysts, and military leaders may be interested in this work as the implementation may have an impact on the Federal budget.
