Abstract Large earth satellite power
stations have been proposed to convert solar energy to microwave energy and
to transmit it to earth receiving stations. What wavelength region and how
large a power density can be transmitted from the satellite power station to earth
without significant interaction and subsequent loss of energy to the earth's
atmosphere is discussed. In the wavelength region of 3- |
