This power beamed directly to consumers provides an immediate $1T End User Products that can be built now for ready markets will be the driving source for revenue and technologies used to build +GW Thin Film Solar Cell Manufacturing, improve the space launch market potential and optimize larger Grid Connected beam down systems as the manufacturing capability to build these comes online over the next 6 to 8 years. This is astounding and very different from the currently impossible 15 GW arrays forwarded by SPS studies over the last 35 years. It is well known that the total of all solar cells made over the last 60 years amounts to less than 5 GW total as of 2007. Only the last 2 years, 2006 and 2007, has worldwide total production of solar cells exceeded 1 GW. The largest planned space applications solar cell factory in development by Welsom Space Power Consortium will make 2 MW of TFSC for Ultra-lightweight CFRP Boom Space Arrays coming on line in 2009-2011. This will present the opportunity to manufacture and build the first space solar arrays in the Megawatt class to demonstrate commercial WPT for recharge of end user products from SBSP on a 1.2 MW Manned Capable Space Solar Array as delivered by the IAC September 25, 2007 Paper," Early Commercial Demonstration of SPS." I have the feeling that Modern Space Based Solar Power can be counted to begin both from the September 25, 2007 paper and the October 10, 2007 NSSO SBSP Interim Report and meetings at JPL that occurred between those dates. 38 days into SBSP and counting you are all doing the best job imaginable! Great work for you all! I am very interested in your thoughts.
