Abstract:

The design of solar power satellites (SPS) or a lunar power system (LPS) involves beaming energy to Earth, perhaps in the form of microwaves. Unfortunately, the magnitude of such projects has discouraged the planning of demonstrations. In order to understand the physical requirements that tend to push the size of a space power system upward, it is necessary to consider the physics of wireless power transmission, or power beaming.
