Scientific paper

The availability of power in space is currently constrained by the Ever-Ready Energizer approach: individual power sources tailored to each satellite for each mission. This document describes an alternative approach known as power beaming, which integrates power generation and distribution, opening space to many new applications. Power beaming is the basis for a completely new space power architecture and a fully integrated transportable space power infrastructure. The power-beaming architecture supporting near-Earth missions can be replicated as mankind explores farther into the solar system. A power-beaming architecture would support manned lunar activities including the establishment of a permanent base on the moon. As mankind ventures farther to Mars and even the asteroids, a power-beaming space power architecture would support these activities as well.
