ESA European Aspects of SPS

1.1.8 The DOE/NASA Reference Concept 1978 ( Silicon Option ) Characteristics: Two reference concepts have been selected as a preliminary design for comparisons within the scope of the DOE - SPS activities. This option is a derivative of the Boeing concept ( compare to 1.1.6 ). Total Power has been reduced to 5 GW and so only one transmitting antenna is required. Construction location is in GEO with raw-materials transport by a dedicated electrical OTV.
