FIGURES ORBIT PERTURBATIONS The weight of about 8 Ib/KW for the orbiting portion of the SSPS, is remarkably low compared to that of terrestrial systems and is indicative of the advantages of placing the solar energy conversion system in synchronous orbit. MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM Figure 6 shows the functional blocks of the microwave power transmission system designed to transmit the electrical power generated by the solar energy conversion system to a receiving antenna on Earth, and the associated efficiency goal.
