... in LEO, and other factors such as post-mission disposal. This has only been a consideration in geostationary orbit (GEO), where both the frequencies and the use of orbital positions are regulated by the ITU. But now...
... GW). For an average system size of 2 GW, that would mean a demand for approximately 570 SPS in geosynchronous (GSO) or geostationary (GEO) orbits. According to the IEA, to hit ‘Net Zero’ by 2050 the world will need to increase its production...
... be undertaken in such a way as to constitute an actual or implied “appropriation” of outer space, including with respect to the use of GEO orbital locations. Space-based solar power involves transforming solar power into electricity via photovoltaic...
