Abstract Systems deployed from Earth can power a small, lunar research base. Their general characteristics and opportunities to use lunar resources are noted. However, much larger opportunities exit. A functionally superior version of the space solar power satellite system can be produced on the moon from local materials. This lunar power system (LPS)

International lunar base and lunar-based power system to supply Earth with electric power
Acta Astronautica, 1993The people of Earth will need more than 20,000 billion watts (GWe) of electric power by 2050 for a high level of prosperity. Power needs in the 22nd Century could exceed 100,000 GWe. The Lunar Power System (LPS) can provide solar electric power to Earth at less cost than conventional terrestrial systems and with far less environmental impact.

Solar Power System for Lunar ISRU Applications
48th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2010This paper discusses the development of a solar power system for lunar ISRU applications. In this solar thermal system, solar radiation is collected by the concentrator array which transfers the concentrated solar radiation to the optical waveguide (OW) transmission line made of low loss optical fibers.

Vacuum insulation for a lunar-based power system
IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation, 1995Current plans for the development of an established manned base on the surface of the Moon will require power levels from 100 kW up to 1 MW. Voltage levels for transmission will likely approach 10 kV, with distances between sources and loads of up to 5 km. Vacuum insulation is being considered due to its simple and low mass design.

Lunar solar-power system: Commerical power
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1995The proposed Lunar Solar‐Power (LSP) System collects solar power on the moon. The power is converted to beams of microwaves and transmitted to fields of microwave receivers (rectennas) on Earth that provide electric power to local and regional power grids.

Power systems options for the first lunar outpost
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1993A number of different Power system architecture options that include all nuclear, all non‐nuclear, and a combination of the two, were defined to satisfy power requirements for the first lunar outpost (FLO). The Life Cycle Costs (LCCs), including development, production, and transportation costs, of these architectures were determined and the ...

Nuclear power systems for the First Lunar Outpost
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1993A recent study effort at NASA has developed a preliminary reference mission description for a human return to the Moon by the end of this decade. The First Lunar Outpost (FLO) would provide the framework for establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon and a necessary step toward eventual piloted trips to Mars.
