Future large space systems opportunities: A case for space-to-space power?Applications and options for beaming power to near-earth space users from a central space power platform are examined. The cost effectiveness of on-board versus remote power transfer is examined for orbital transfer propulsion systems. Performance characteristics are projected for advanced power generation, transmission, and receiver systems for the 1990's. Major technological development needs are identified with particular emphasis on large space systems technology.
