Abstract/Description:
See the release review Here On SSI.ORG.
This study assessed lifecycle cost and emissions based on the following scenario: SBSP systems are developed on the ground in the 2030s and launched to low-Earth orbit (LEO), and then transferred to and assembled in geostationary orbit (GEO) in the 2040s.
So again, as is the NASA tradition of talk with no actual advances and even with Artemis right on their shoulder, they keep doing the same old paths to only help launch companies instead of moving to actual efficiency with off-Earth resource techniques and programs to help People. Mind boggling. If they were a company they would be out of business. If only NASA had actually started on SPS in the 1990s... DOGE would have had no justification for cutting them today.
