International dimensions of solar power satellites: collaboration or competition

Conference · · Space Sol. Power Rev.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5958742
Global political trends which are likely to influence a SPS system in the latter stages of its development and the early phase of its operation are identified. It is pointed out that such a system, both because of its technological challenge and financial dimensions and because it deals with the cricially-important area of energy supply, will be a focus of attention among the central political leadership of major countries. The politics of SPS will be marked by both competitive and collaborative forces. In order to create a framework for SPS operation, international forums, particularly the UN system, are expected to become engaged in the SPS development process. 1 reference.
