Revolutionizing Space Warfare: “Power Star” Space Solar Power Concept

Revolutionizing Space Warfare: “Power Star” Space Solar Power Concept Space is a warfighting domain. States around the world are proliferating technologies for space warfare. The design concept of an inflatable spherical solar power satellite, known as the Power Star, revolutionizes space warfare. The Power Star offers a variety of dual uses with both commercial and military applications, and a renewable energy technology that replaces fossil fuels in the global economy. At the same time, the Power Star is a space-based directed energy weapon, and encompasses a communication, cyber, and electronic warfare suite that detects and tracks enemy satellites, missiles, hypersonic weapons, and aircraft, and engages in space-borne jamming. A mega constellation of Power Stars delivers fire power and effects across orbit and the atmosphere on a global scale. In combination with a variety of co-orbiting satellites, a space force fleet of Power Stars exercises effective control of orbit and allows a space force to act decisively in space warfare. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Astropolitics Taylor & Francis
