SPACE SOLAR POWER REVIEW AIMS AND SCOPE Space Solar Power Review is a common forum tor the formal discussion of all aspects of the deployment of space energy systems which contribute to the analysis of the feasibility and practicality of space solar power. The Editor welcomes papers of a basic research as well as research and development character, pertaining to space solar power systems. This includes ground or space experiments pertaining to the solar power satellites; studies of environmental questions such as lightning or space plasma interactions, or ionospheric or atmospheric effects; microwave interactions both on electronic and biologic systems; technical papers on SPS or energy transmission satellite design and development; innovative ideas on the use of space for energy related systems; and new energy conversion or transmission devices appropriate for space applications. Papers on human factors, including considerations of health and well-being of astroworkers are invited, as are papers on the historical, sociological, psychological, legal, and anthropological aspects of space industrialization. Studies on the financing of large space energy systems and governmental interactions and incentivizing are welcome, as are comparative studies of various energy systems. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS: Each MS must be complete and in final form when submitted. Papers cannot be accepted unless four (4) copies are received. All copies must be double-spaced, with ample margins, on one side of white paper, preferably standard 81/2 x 11 inches in dimension. Papers should be submitted to the editorial office: John W. Freeman, Editor-in-Chief, Space Solar Power Research Program, Rice University, P.O. Box 1892, Houston, TX 77001, USA. ABSTRACT: An abstract (not exceeding 250 words) is required at the beginning of each paper. Abstracts should be as complete in themselves as possible. Conclusions should be summarized as well as the methods used, since abstracts are frequently quoted verbatim in abstracting journals. Authors are encouraged to submit Spanish and French translations of the abstract. REFERENCES: Literature references in the text should be cited by numerals in parentheses, thus (1). References should be typed on a sheet separately, at the end of the manuscript. The preferred sequence for book references is: author initials and name, title of book, edition if more than one, page number if pertinent, book publisher and his location, year of publication. Example: 1. J.J. Hamilton, Reflex Klystron. Macmillan, New York, 1959. Preferred sequence for journal references is: author initials and name (if two authors give both names; if more than two, give the names of all authors), title of paper, abbreviated title of journal (according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th Edn.), volume number, page number, year. Authors are requested to avoid the use of references to non-standard material such as project reports whenever possible. Example: 1. M. Mendillo and J.M. Forbes, Artificially Created Holes in the Ionosphere, J. Geophys. Res. 83,151-162,1978. UNITS OF MEASURE: The use of S.l. units (Systems International d’Unites) in papers is mandatory. The author should also provide alternate units in parentheses for convenience of those readers who are not yet fluent in the use of S.l. units. TABLES: In the interest of economy and in order to avoid the introduction of errors, tables will be reproduced by photo-offset means directly from the authors’ typed manuscripts. Tables should be submitted in a form suitable for direct reproduction. The guidelines detailed should be followed: (1) Page size should be 81/2 x 11 (or 21 x 30 cm). (2) Large or long tables should be typed on continuing sheets. (3) Table headings should appear at the top of the table. ILLUSTRATIONS: Each figure should be mentioned specifically in the text. Figure number and legend will be set in type and must not be part of the drawing. All figures will be reduced a maximum amount compatible with legibility. Each figure must be provided with an adequate legend, and all legends should be typed together on one or more sheets of paper (double-spaced). Drawings should be in black or India ink on white paper, tracing paper or tracing cloth—one drawing per sheet, consecutively numbered. Write author name and figure number lightly on the back of each print. Mark the top of each print where there can be uncertainties to orientation. An original and two copies of each illustration should be furnished. REPRINTS: The corresponding author will receive (along with page proofs for final proofreading) a form for ordering reprints and full copies of the issue in which their article appears. Twenty-five (25) free reprints are provided. Orders for additional reprints must be received before printing in order to qualify for lower prepublication rates. COPYRIGHT AND ORIGINALITY: It is a condition of publication that manuscripts submitted to this Journal have not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. All authors must sign the “Transfer of Copyright’’ agreement, available from the editors, before the article can be published. (U.S. government officers or employees are exempt from the transfer requirement, but must certify their status as government writers.) The transfer agreement enables the SUNSAT Energy Council to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the authors’ proprietary rights or rights to use their work as they please in the future. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, ohotoaraohic reproductions, microform or any other similar reproductions of similar nature and translations.
