A concept for building the 5000 MW reference solar power satellite in Earth orbit is discussed. The system uses silicon solar cells. The GEO base has contiguous facilities for concurrent assembly and subsequent mating of the satellite energy conversion system and its power transmission antenna. The end builder construction system uses 10 synchronized beam machines to automatically fabricate continuous longitudinal beams for the energy conversion system.
