Abstract This chapter suggests several strategic designs for future Sunsats, to include substantially larger photovoltaic arrays in space, solar concentrators, energy converters, wireless power transmitters and power beaming. Technical feasibility and some key technology challenges are addressed, including suitable orbits for Sunsat placement and managing the space environment.
