How This Study Connects to the Space Research Programme
How does space solar power depend on the other sectors Setcoin studies?
Chapter summary
almost entirely.
Key takeaways
- 1
Space solar power is not a separate industry but a combination of others.
- 2
Its cost depends on launch prices (Study S5), its hardware on the supply chain for solar cells, gallium and electronics (Study S7), its assembly on in-orbit manufacturing and servicing (Study S10), and its early markets on defence (Study S4), the Moon (Study S8) and data centres (Study S3).
- 3
Its regulation draws on spectrum processes analysed for direct-to-device services (Study S6), and its risks will be covered in Study S12 on orbital risk and insurance.
