ABSTRACT
The concept of the Solar Power Satellite energy system is to place giant satellites, covered with vast arrays of solar cells, in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the Earth’s equator. Each satellite will be illuminated by sunlight 24 hours a day for most of the year. Because of the 23″ tilt of the energy efforts. Consolidation of responsibility was completed when the Department of Energy was formed in 1977. The Department of Energy developed a comprehensive program that concentrated on four areas: 1) technical feasibility; 2) environmental impact; 3) societal impact; and 4) cost comparison. NASA was responsible for the technical studies and DOE retained responsibility for the others as well as overall program management. Funding for 3 years was $19.5 million……………..

i dont kno wat to comment on this issue.but i sure am very much interested in power transmission thru solar cels.i just had query .. have you conducted tests on this if yes is your answer then when are you going to put al of this in action., wel i am too excited to kno this coz it seems the earth would come to an end by 2012 as said by the scientists.. and if you are going to pull on with your action then i fear that we might not be alive to enjoy it from scientists point of view..
i am just an engineering student doing her second year so please dont take any of the things said by me in a serious tone.. its just i wanted to knew al this to improve my knowledge…. please mail me if you ‘ve got any answers to my query…
