Scientific paper

The development of compact solar power satellites (SPS) for use on a lunar base is examined. The SPS is to collect solar radiation in space and convert it to a usable form. The compact SPS uses one structure for both the solar radiation reception and transmitting beam emission and it produces a microwave beam of high power density. The proposed requirement and capabilities for a lunar power satellite are discussed. Potential uses for the microwave beam are considered.
