Title

Space-Based Solar Power Architectures – New Governmental and Commercial Concepts and Ventures

Description

This session deals with all aspects of architectures and concepts for space-based solar power plants. Topically it will include all system-level, architectural, organisational and commercial aspects of solar power from space, including modelling and optimisation as well as non-technical (e;g; programmatic) aspects of space solar power. While primarily focused on concepts delivering solar power for terrestrial needs, space-to-space architectures are also covered. It includes governmental as well as commercial ventures in this domain. By doing so, it provides a unique common platform to discuss these two very different approaches and contribute to a cross-fertilisation between the two communities.
