Power beaming is the efficient point-to-point transfer of electrical energy across free space
by a directive electromagnetic beam. This paper clarifies the basic principles of power …

Phased arrays are multiple antenna systems capable of forming and steering beams
electronically using constructive and destructive interference between sources. They are …

Abstract The 3U CubeSat OrigamiSat-1 has been developed and launched into orbit in
January 2019 to demonstrate a “multifunctional” membrane deployable space structure …

Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are developed to provide electric power either
directly or via battery charging. The optimism on WPT technology is driven by the ubiquity of …

Most existing space solar power concepts place one or more power stations in
geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO). However, due to the limited availability of GEO orbital …

More space truss construction has been planned to develop and utilize space resources.
These trusses are designed in the way of large-scale, complex, modular, and on-orbit …

Shape-changing arrays are an emerging frontier of phased array development. These
arrays fold, conform, and flex dynamically as they operate. In this work we describe the …

We present a detailed design treatment for a concentrating photovoltaic mini module
subsystem with a specific power of up to 4.1 kW/kg for integration into a space solar power …

Large aperture flexible and deployable phased arrays will enable active RF fabric and
deployable array structures for terrestrial and space applications. The flexible phased array …

The recent emergence of modular space-based solar power concepts has brought the topic
to the forefront of alternatives for power generation. Additionally, advancements in wireless …
