DESCRIPTION

A 10,000 MW Solar Power Satellite that is launched by the ETDHLRLV described earlier. The satellite feeds 1.25 MW to 8,000 ground stations simultaneously. Energy sold at $0.043 per kWh generates $300 million per month for each station. Four stations, including a fleet of launchers, is built and placed on orbit in five years for $14.4 billion. (less than the cost of developing a major field like Sakhalin Island.) The revenue earned by four satellites within five years is $1.2 billion per month!!! $14.4 billion per year revenue, creating a tremendous net present value of $188.4 billion when discounted at 6.5% over 30 years . With 32,000 ground stations, each ground station contributes $450,000 toward satellite operations and receives energy worth $5.87 million the day it is switched on. 45% of the revenue sold today for $450,000 provides a 40% annual compounded rate of return to investors that can be multiplied further by segmenting the payments into five payments of $90,000 each. There are several open issues of a technical nature that must be addressed. These all relate to the ASIC MEMS that is the heart of this system. These are all addressed for $32 million. Or, $1,000 per ground station.So, a finance program is rather simple. It relates to a collection of thirty-two thousand ground stations that is 1.25 MW each. It starts out as; (1) $1,000 per ground station - 9 months - ASIC MEMS (2) $90,000 per ground station - 12 months - Construction (3) $90,000 per ground station - 24 months - Construction (4) $90,000 per ground station - 36 months - Construction (5) $90,000 per ground station - 48 months - Construction (6) $90,000 per ground station - 60 months - Operation (7) $2,420,208 received per ground station - revenue soldThis provide $32 million to do ASIC MEMS proof of concept, and success there results in a $2.88 billion per year commitment from 32,000 ground stations - to support the development of (a) Four satellites to feed the ground stations (b) A fleet of Heavy Lift RLVs to place the satellites

TRW Micro-thruster array - In 1997

DARPA awarded a $3.5-million contract toTRW, the Aerospace Corporation and California Institute of Technology to come up with a prototype MEMS based propulsion s y s t e m f o r s p a c e a p p l i c a t i o n s . Micropropulsion takes advantage of the ability of silicon fabrication methods to produce lots of little devices at once.

Advanced Micro-Cavity - With advanced

electron source provide a means to create

ultra-short-wave (infra-red) magnetron cavities

that together with SASE produce high

efficiency IR-laser emitters. A free-electron

laser, or FEL, is a laser that shares the same properties as conventional lasers but which uses a relativistic electron beam as the lasing medium which moves freely through a magnetic structure. The free-electron laser has the widest frequency range of any laser type, and can be wide ly tunable , ranging microwaves through X-ray at very high power.

Emerald Nano-Satellite Array - The

University Nanosat Program, a satellite design and fabrication competition for universities jointly administered by AFOSR, AFRL, AIAA and the Space Development Test Wing also managed by the AFRL Space Vehicles Directorate's Spacecraft Technology division. This creates fully functioning sub-kilogram spacecraft systems.
