It currently appears quite likely that the power generation source for the initial Space Station will be a photovoltaic array. Planar silicon arrays offer low technology risk but high weight and drag area. Concentrator arrays of either silicon or gallium arsenide (preferred) promise lower cost and drag area but at some increase in technology risk. A solar Brayton system is a low drag candidate but will probably not be technology ready for the initial Space Station. A nuclear system will be an attractive option for the growth Space Station if safety, cost, and configuration problems can be solved. Regenerative fuel cells are a promising energy storage technology option and will be technology ready for the initial Space Station. High voltage distribution is required but the cost and operational impact on the Space Station and space plasma compatibility have not yet been determined.
