Lunar Orbiting Microwave Beam Power System [PDF]
Proceedings of the 25th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2005 A microwave beam power system using lunar orbiting solar powered satellite(s) and surface rectenna(s) was investigated as a possible energy source for the moon's surface. The concept has the potential of reduced system mass by placing the power source in orbit.
