Description
The commercialization of space will require power for everything from lights to climate control and especially for the industrial processes that are planned to take advantage of the zero-g environment. This power requirement can vary from a few kilowatts to several megewatts, depending on the particular commercial operation. This paper discusses the concepts that are available to supply this power, the different ways the power might be utilized, and some of the problems associated with development and utilization of the power source.
