Preamble: Energy sustainability, that is, ensuring the energy needs of the present without
compromising the energy requirements of the future generations, is an urgent matter facing the present
generation of scientists, engineers and politicians, as we are already facing an energy crises at our
doorstep. Presently available renewable energy sources such as conventional solar or wind power can
satisfy only a portion of today’s needs. One of the best alternatives is to supply energy from space. The
conversion of solar energy in space to usable power on Earth is the most plausible global alternative to
nuclear power plants.
A variety of the significant aspects of Solar Power Satellites (SPS) technologies like solar cells and
wireless power transmission have been investigated by researches. During the last three decades the
study of this technology has been one of the priority directions of investigations of the space agencies,
universities and worldwide industry entities, mostly because the industrialization and urbanization have
sharply increased power consumption. Therefore, the finite energy sources may soon past their peak
availability. An obvious solution to the problem is to utilize terrestrial renewable energy sources to the
maximum extent possible by developing SPS as a worldwide twenty-four hours a day energy supply.
Objective: The workshop is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of experiences
and sharing of ideas in the technologies to capture energy from the space, which is one of the
dimensions of sustainability.
During the workshop,
i- capturing solar power directly and beaming it to Earth, and
ii- obtaining fuel (for fusion) from extraterrestrial bodies will be discussed from theoretical and
technological points of the view.
Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Solar Power Satellites (SPS)
- Lunar Power System (LPS)
- Helium 3 from the Moon for Earth-Based Fusion
- Solutions for the single high energy beam problem.
- Instrumentation, design tools, specific problems and solutions
- Opportunities for international cooperation
- Space quantum motor
- Solar-lasers
- Space Power Generators (SPG)
Intended audience: Academicians, engineers, technical managers and planners coming from space
organizations, industry and universities, and working in energy related space programs are the intended
audience.
Contributions: Prospective attendees are encauraged to make contributions by submitting the
summary of their proposed papers electronically through the web site.
Important Dates:
Submission of summaries
Notification of acceptance
Submission of full papers

The organizers will leave ample time for discussions after each presentation. There will be sessions
devoted to specific topics but no parallel ones. The proceedings are planned to be made available to
the attendees on CDs during the workshop.
