continued from p. 224 Things that need to happen G. How does a solar power satellite work? What's the latest technology? See some of the parts right there in class! Deployable solar arrays radiatively cooled magnetrons phased array transmitters efficiencies rectennae beam optics large light-weight structures in space solar steam engines in space H. Environmental impacts of solar power and wireless power transmission. effects of RF power beam on people, animals, communications land use issues pollution due to launching rockets disruption of the ionosphere the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. I. Solar Economics repeat after me: As production goes up, cost goes down. Technology is not the only issue! the concept of fixed mortgage applied to power system. energy efficiency helps. You are skeptical that I can reduce my electrical load by 50%? Check this out! Where would you use space solar power? J. What we can do to further the development of space solar power demo projects in progress new demo projects that could be done K. Why is space solar power better than a hydrogen economy? What's a hydrogen economy? L. Why is space solar power more interesting than fusion? M. Practical knowledge! We will build a solar powered fans. Everyone will make one to take home. This course will have a registration fee (separate from the main conference) of $180. Students: call for special rate. Along with the solar fan, also included in the registration will be: A bound copy of all the notes A diskette with the solar power satellite database on it The latest issue of the journal Space Power A complimentary subscription to the SUNSAT Newsletter
