SPS Built of Lunar Material SRA Report for SSI

aluminum, which provides the same losses as the 1.0 cm bar of coin silver. This reduces the requirement for a 5 GW SPS with the reference configuration from 11.8 metric tons of coin silver to 1.2 metric tons. It also reduces the total slipring mass from 11.8 tons to 4.0 tons. 4.6 POWER DISTRIBUTION REFERENCES 1.
