The concept of power-laser beaming in space is described with reference to particular technologies for such systems and their potential applications. A power-beaming system comprises a laser transmitter and receiver, beam-directing optics, and a laser-to-electric power converter, and the system can be used to: (1) extend a lunar rover's excursion range; (2) boost power levels onboard the Space Station Freedom; and (3) to realize laser propulsion. Attention is also given to the potential pump power available from the strongest solar-pumped iodine photodissociation lasers which, when used with a t-C4F9I lasant, is a suitable laser power transmitter.
