WHAT IS SATELLITE?
A satellite is anything that revolves around something ex:- moon orbits the earthso moon is a satellite of earth. In communication context, it is a specialized wireless receiver/transmitter that can receive or transmit signalsas per the requirement
TYPES OF SATELLITES
Astronomical satellites Communication satellites Earth observation satellites Weather satellites Solar power satellite
WHAT IS SPS?
A solar power satellite or SPS is a proposed satellite built in high earth orbit that uses microwave power transmission to beam solar power to very large antenna on earth where it can be used in place of conventional power sources The advantage to placing the solar collectors in space is the unobstructed view of the sun, unaffected by the day/night cycle, weather or seasons.
HISTORY OF SPS
Start in late 1968 Started by Peter Glaser a German scientist in1975 on a high note Later joined by various aerospace companies in 1980 Recently increase in demand of energy speed up the SPS work
Growing energy needs Sustainable source of energy Environmental impact from terrestrial energy sources Total cost of energy production
Fossil Fuels
$53.42
Extensive transportation systems to bring them to nations Subject to political and economic instability Limited Supply will resulting increasing costs
Power Generatio n Solar Power 19-56 watts per square meter. Max power generation limited only by size
Costs
Cost/Watt
Pros
Cons
Requirement of special materials . Current technology requires large amounts of land for small amounts of energy generation
Can produce Extremely electricity 24 expensive hours a day, 7 days a week. Satellite can be moved to transmit power to different areas globally

DESCRIPTION OF SPS
The SPS essentially consists of three parts:1.
2.
3.
A huge solar collector , typically made up of solar cells A microwave antenna on the satellite, aimed at earth An antenna occupying a large area on earth to collect the power
HOW IT WORKS ?

Introduction Numerical simulation prediction of hook echo area by using WRS-88D Doppler weather radar
MICROWAVE BEAM
It decreases global warming It decreases the probability of acid rain Helps in saving endangered species

REDUCTION IN THE "GREENHOUSE EFFECT "CLEAN" ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION UNLIMITED AVAILABILITY OF CLEAN ELECTRIC POWER WORLDWIDE WILL BENEFIT DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, SAVE THE RAIN FORESTS, AND ELIMINATE ACID RAIN THE RECTENNAS RECEIVING THE MICROWAVE ENERGY ALLOW 80% OF THE SUNLIGHT TO PASS BY. BY MOUNTING THESE RECTENNAS ON FLOATING ISLANDS IN THE OCEAN, SIPHONING OFF SOME OF THE RECEIVED MICROWAVE ENERGY FOR USE IN DESALINIZATION OF SEAWATER, FOOD CAN BE GROWN IN ABUNDANCE TO FEED THE WORLD MAKING WARS AND CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS UNLIKELY

Used to stop mass fires Used to tackle with drought Faster production of crop by 3 to 4 times Used to raise temperature in cold countries in winter
Would SPS be attacked? How could SPS be attacked? Could SPS be defended? Who would attack?
There are three ways of defense of SPS: Evasion Hardening against explosions Anti missile weaponry
