The space community has dreamed of solar electricity for 24 h/day using mirrors in space that follow the sun. As shown in Fig. 7.14a, Dr. Krafft Ehricke [20] first proposed the idea of using mirrors in space to direct sunbeams down to terrestrial solar fields in 1978. NASA has studied an alternative idea, the Integrated Symmetric Concentrator Space Power Satellite (ISC-SPS) [21], as shown in Fig. 7.14b. However, there are problems with both these ideas.
