Phased Demonstration Approach for Microwave Wireless Power Transmission Technology in MW-Level Space Solar Power Stations (SSPS)

This paper outlines two progressively scaled verification missions designed to achieve the milestone operation of an MW-level demonstration SSPS. It further elaborates on the phased on-orbit verification principles for the wireless power transmission system, with an emphasis on critical technologies such as the transmitting antennas, on-orbit deployment, energy reception, and beam pointing control. By adopting a step-by-step approach, each phase builds upon the previous one, facilitating substantial improvements in system performance metrics.
