..Space Energy Inc plans to launch prototype Space Solar Power Satellite
Another start-up!
Space Energy Inc "The company plans to develop SBSP satellites to generate and transmit electricity to receivers on the Earth's surface. To do this, the company plans to create and launch a prototype satellite into low earth orbit (LEO)." "After the prototype has been successfully demonstrated, the company will enter into power supply contracts with customers and launch larger-scale, commercial-strength satellites." http://www.spaceenergy.com/s/Default.htm |

If "Space Energy Inc" had a ****in' clue they'd sue the childish journalist (ISEIHAFCTSTCJ). |

..Space Energy Inc Boasts Impressive Technical Staff
Space Energy Inc's technical advisors. This start up looks like the real thing. Ralph Nansen Ralph Nansen is the founder and president of Solar Space Industries and the former head of the Solar Satellite Division for Boeing. He started as a designer on the Bomarc rocket- powered missile, and in 1961 was selected to develop the initial configuration used by Boeing in their successful bid to design and build the giant first stage of the Saturn V moon rocket. Dr. Larry DeLucas Dr. DeLucas is a former shuttle astronaut and the former Chief Scientist for the International Space Station and is currently the Director of the CBSE. The CBSE consists of 115 scientists and engineers involved in a number of scientific research activities (structural biology and pharmaceutical development) as well as space product development for NASA and the International Space Station. Mike Snead Project Engineer for the Air Force Transatmospheric Vehicle project, Chief Flight Systems Engineer and Lead Structures Engineer for the National Aerospace Plane/X-30 Joint Program Office, and Government Technical Consultant for the BMDO Delta Clipper Experimental (DC-X) Single-Stage Rocket program. In 2007, Mr. Snead led the space logistics assessment of space solar power in support of the National Security Space Office's study "Space-based Solar Power as an Opportunity for Strategic Security." Dr. William Gaubatz Dr. Gaubatz, Senior Advisor, X PRIZE Foundation, is a pioneer and leader in program and concept developments that have impacted national programs and policies, leading the way to today's Personal Spaceflight Industry. At McDonnell Douglas, he originated and managed the development of the Delta Clipper reusable Spaceplane concept. His Delta Clipper Experimental programs (DC-X and DC-XA) proved through flight, that aircraft like operations could be routinely achieved for Spaceplanes. He was an originating founder of Universal Space Lines, Inc Dr. Richard Dickinson Mr. Dickinson is one of the world's foremost experts on Wireless Power Transmission (WPT). President of OFF EARTH-WPT, a Wireless Power Transmission business. Mr. Dickinson was Group Supervisor of the High-Power Transmitter Group at Goldstone and was NASA's microwave power transmission specialist on the Solar Power Satellite Reference System team. He investigated the technology for the microwave power transmission link of the NASA-DOE proposed Satellite Power System (SPS) as the wireless power transmission specialist on the NASA study team. Charles Radley Charles F. Radley is the President/CEO of the Stratowave Corporation, and Vice President of The Moon Society. He was a contributor to the 2007 Dept of Defense NSSO) report on Space Based Solar power. Charles worked on the Galileo and Magellan space probes, Space Station Freedom, Spacelab-MSL-1 and several communications satellite projects (e.g. Intelsat-6, Olympus, Marecs, Inmarsat-2, BSB/HS-376, JCSat, HS-601). Also, he worked on the Trailblazer commercial lunar orbiter project. http://www.spaceenergy.com/s/TechnicalAdvisors.htm http://www.spaceenergy.com/s/TechnicalAdvisors.htm |

"After the prototype has been successfully demonstrated, the company will enter into power supply contracts with customers and launch larger-scale, commercial-strength satellites." How many dollars per kWh? http://www.spaceenergy.com/s/Default.htm |

How can they get insurance if the beam walks off and roasts Seattle ?? |

OK, here goes...
Bill Gates, no Paul Allen, decides he's through paying electric bills to keep his pool heated in his $x million dollar mansion. So instead of a giant SPS, we instead go the micro SPS route. Anyone getting that Iridium deja-vu? If you're rich enough, maybe you invest in a constellation of micro-SPSs in LEO that only produces say 100kW of output. Enough to power a goodly sized house or maybe a small business or maybe hmm just maybe a battalion-sized command post? For slightly more $$$ you can put that small powersat in GEO and save a ton of complexity in the receiving antenna... Just another random thought... Dave |
