Lunar solar power system

Two general concepts have been proposed for delivering
solar power to Earth from space. In one, Peter Glaser of
Arthur D. Little, Inc. (Cambridge, MA), proposed in 1968
that a huge satellite in geosynchronous orbit around Earth
could dependably gather solar power in space. In the sec-
ond concept, discussed here, solar power would be col-
lected on the moon. In both ideas, many different beams
of 12-cm wavelength microwaves would deliver power to receivers at sites located worldwide. Each receiver would
supply commercial power to a given region. Such a receiv-
er, called a rectenna, would consist of a large field of small
rectifying antennas. A beam with a maximum intensity of
less than 20% of noontime sunlight would deliver about
200 W to its local electric grid for every square meter of
rectenna area. Unlike sunlight, microwaves pass through
rain, clouds, dust, and smoke. In both scenarios, power
can be supplied to the rectenna at night.

3. LUNAR SOLAR POWER ­ Introduction
Two concepts have been proposed for 
delivering solar power to Earth from 
space.
1)A huge satellite in geosynchronous 
orbit around Earth could dependably 
gather solar power in space.
2)In the second concept discussed here, 
solar power would be collected on the 
moon.

5. Technical Aspect
The LPS essentially consists of four parts:
a huge solar collector, typically made up of 
solar cells (triple junction gallium arsenide )
A microwave converter
a microwave antenna on moon, aimed at Earth 
an EARTH based ‘receiver antenna’  to collect 
the power­  called as rectenna

6. Explanation 
AN appropriate natural satellite is available for the
commercial development.
Solar power is collected on the moon by solar collectors
which is then converted to microwave beams by the
bases on the lunar surface.
Microwaves will deliver power to the rectennas.
Unlike sunlight microwaves can penetrate through rain,
clouds, dust, and smoke.
Rectennas which contain large field of small rectifying
antennas will then supply commercial power to a given
region.
Rectennas can receive power 24hrs a day with the help
of relay satellites.

7. LSP ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES
ELECTRICITY FROM RECTENNAS
– Does not produce greenhouse gasses, fuel spills, nuclides, 
dust,industrial wastes, etc.
– Eliminates need for hazardous facilities (nuclear, dams, 
mines, etc.)
– Enables biosphere­independent power
– Enables remediation of environmental damage, recycling 
of goods, and non­polluting services and transport.
 ENABLES PLANETARY PROTECTION
– Solar reflectors made from lunar materials adjust solar 
flux onto Earth.
– Specialized LSP beams gently deflect dangerous asteroids 
& comets.
