Is there any space-based industry that could possibly beat that market? 'Solar Power Satellites' shows why and how the space satellite industry will soon begin expanding its market from relaying signals to Earth to generating energy in space and delivering it to the ground as electricity. In all industrialized nations, energy demand is growing exponentially. In the developing world, the need for energy is as basic as food and water. The Sun's energy is available everywhere, and it is non-polluting. As business plans demonstrate its technical feasibility, commercial potential, and environmental acceptability, every country on Earth will look to space for the power it needs. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in space development. 606 $aSatellite solar power stations 606 $aSolar energy 615 0$aSatellite solar power stations. 615 0$aSolar energy. 676 $a629.464 700 $aFlournoy$b Don M$01352373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910693332203321 996 $aSolar Power Satellites$93173892 997 $aUNINA
