文摘

Gerard O’Neill's outstanding satellite solar array concepts are updated from geostationary systems to include sun synchronous low earth orbits and Brandon Molniya orbits. The low earth orbits would offer low cost and Brandon orbits would offer the convenience of stationary ground antennas. Jalali's ten micron silicon laser links are studied for high reliability and low cloud attenuation.
