Multiple smaller satellites, not a few gigantic spacecraft. Improved robustness.

Much smaller rectennas, serving local areas. Reduced ground-based power transport, reduced ground footprint
Reduced initial investment to obtain an operational system.

Recently SunPower announced it broke the record for solar cell efficiency for a large area silicon wafers. NREL certified the SunPower cell at 24.2%. I anxiously pulled up one of my favorite solargeek charts, NRELs Best Research -Cell Efficiencies to plot SunPowers accomplishment. The key term in the title of this chart is Research -Cell. By definition a research cell is typically a one off and small (on the order of 1cm2). Researchers at University of South Wales still hold the record for single crystal silicon cells (aka monocrystalline) at 24.7%. SunPowers announced a full-scale solar cell that is a certified record holder for large area silicon wafers. SunPower, you overcame one challenge, making a large cell. This is impressive. I look forward to removing almost from my po st when you announce a new product line manufactured at scale with a 24+% efficiency OR you announce a research 24.8+% research cell.

Beamed Energy and $100/kg to GEO

On why cheap space transportation gives low cost energy and how power in space gives low cost transport and how to get started Keith Henson (L5 Society)

In four part harmony

Part 1 Economics and transport technical Part 2 Building a seed propulsion laser Part 3 Completing the seed laser Part 4 Business and political case

Part 1

Power sats Economic analysis to undercut coal Lift cost limit $100 for 5 kg/kW Beamed energy & analysis 10 km air drop Laser progress

OVERALL CONFIGURATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS SPS (FROM DOE STUDIES)

SPACEBORNE ARRAY

RECTENNA ON EARTH

Simple analysis

10 year return on capital, 80,000 hours $1600/kW can be paid back at 2 cents per kWh $200/kW rectenna, $900/kW parts and labor ($450 before transmission lost), $500/kW for transport to GEO At 5 kg/kW requires $100/kg or less to GEO

Cant be done with chemical fuel

Current $20,000/kg to GEO SpaceX $4,000/kg $1,000/kg 20t/1400t, 1.4% payload Skylon ~$1000/kg $500/kg 7t/300t, 2.3% payload

Combine with:

Hydrogen combustion to 25 km, & Mach 5.5 Laser heated hydrogen above that point (laser beamed down from GEO)

Two GW of laser (1.8 GW actually) Performance analysis, 54 t to LEO Vehicle 24 t, (20% structure) plus 30 t second stage to LEO 2/3rd of second stage to GEO (20 t)

105 kW CW

Cost breakdown

Vehicle amortization $10/kg Hydrogen $6/kg Laser $50 B (written off in 5 years) $10 B/0.5 B kg is $20/kg $36/kg, well under the $100/kg number

Why Airdrop at 10 km

Huge Landing gear reduction Max landing is 54 tons, 120 t less 76 tons of LH2 dumped in an abort.

Part 2, Getting started (Building a seed laser)

scale, 500 MW @ 10 kg/kW 5000 tons, Falcon Heavy @ 20 t per flight 250 flights at 0.1 B/flight, $25 B $5 B laser at $10/W 500 days at a launch every other day

Part 3, completing 2 GW

$15 B laser/power sat parts, 15,000 tons 60 scale vehicles, 5 tons to GEO 20 flights per day, 150 days, 2 years total Transport cost @ $100/kg $1.5 B Total cost $50-100 B Income @ $100/kg * 500,000 t $50 B/yr Payback from gross income ~2 years.

Falcons can't build power sats but they can build a very expensive laser?

2 GW electric power at 2 cent per kWh is worth $320 M/yr 2 GW of laser propulsion is worth $50 B/yr >100 times as much

Part 4 This makes a business case

It closes the business case for making 2 cent per kWh power and we know there is plenty of market at that price (TWs) It solves energy, energy security and carbon problems (carbon neutral synthetic fuel for a dollar a gallon) Even at two cents per kWh it makes huge profits

BUTIt is too big to do without major government backing

And oil, coal and gas industries will lobby against a real solution. So why should the government consider it?

It costs perhaps 10% of what a war with Iran would cost

SDI with the USSR or Russia was/is a losing business. It will be decades before Iran could overwhelm a multi GW propulsion laser and by that time the commercial demand for laser propulsion should be in the tens of GW Cheap power from space removes any legitimate reason to sort out uranium atoms

Google henson oil drum for a for a slightly out of datewhite paper on this topic

Part 1 months ago Part 2 and 3 a few weeks ago Part 4 last week This is unlikely to be the final evolution of the idea.

Stuff to do

Write arguments that oil, coal and gas industries will not be hurt Synthetic oil for the oil companies and they can sell gasoline for the next century Using coal for a while making synthetic oil Making hydrogen out of an awful lot of gas (230 tons an hour, shipload a week)
