Space Segment
The space segment of the OPC system is comprised of a collection of Independent Solar Energy Satellites (ISES) working together to form a single microwave power beam. The number and size of the satellites is dependent upon scaling decisions for the individual satellites, and the total amount of power to be delivered. The baseline design calls for 10 tonne satellites, with cloud sizes ranging 12 to 300 satellites depending on power required in a particular beam.
Power Beam
The power beam is a large 5.9 GHz microwave radio signal that is tightly focused to arrive at a relatively small ‘footprint’ on the surface of the earth. The energy of the beam is managed to never exceed a certain energy density. The precise number is yet to be determined, but will likely be on the close order of 1,000 W / sq Meter.
