Research on solar power satellites and microwave power transmission in Japan
Abstract
Radio waves can benefit the welfare of humanity through other purposes than communications. Microwave power transmission (MPT) is one of the new technological frontiers. Solar power satellites (SPS) will provide a clean and limitless energy resource from space through this technique. This article answers the fundamental question of why we need to develop SPS from the viewpoint of critical global issues for mankind. It then reviews SPS research, mainly in Japan, in the 1980s and 1990s. These efforts include two MPT rocket experiments; a microwave-driven airplane experiment; and MPT technology developments, concepts, and systems studies of SPS. A summary of recent research committee activities on SPS and a road map of future SPS research plans in Japan concludes the article.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
