Scientific paper
The possible utilization of lunar resources for manufacturing and assembling solar power satellites in a geostationary orbit is examined. The system consists of three complexes (Earth, Moon and geostationary orbit) having 10 subsystems and 49 elements. Based on functional considerations, preliminary specifications for these elements are given. Some qualitative statements are made concerning energy and manpower requirements. Emphasis is on the investments needed for the lunar complex (mass, energy, manpower) to deliver a given amount of raw and construction materials to orbit for the assembly of solar power satellite systems to produce electrical energy for consumption on the Earth's surface.
