Acknowledgements The combined efforts of many people have made this report possible. First, we would like to thank all of our sponsors for making it possible for us to attend this ISU summer session and have the opportunity to work on the Space Solar Power Program project. Throughout the summer many distinguished speakers shared their knowledge and experience with us providing invaluable help in producing a quality report. We would like to thank them for taking the time to prepare their lectures and visit us in Kitakyushu. Special thanks goes to the entire ISU faculty and staff for their patience and perserverance in helping us during the trials and tribulations of producing the final report. The SSPP faculty and staff deserve recognition and our thanks for providing guidance and reviewing the report at each stage of its development, for staying up all night with us and putting up with last minute changes and panics. This report would not have been possible without the help of the computer staff keeping the fileserver and printers limping along under intensive workloads. Finally, we would especially like to thank the sponsors of the Space Solar Power Design Program.
