AbstractTo save foreseeable difficulties and risks associated with large scale development of the Space Power Station on GEO at a remote distance, the Energy Storable Orbital Power Station (ESOPS) placed in a near earth orbit is proposed.Most promising orbit for ESOPS is a fixed periapsis pseudo sun synchronous orbit. A thermodynamical power generation is preferable owing to its inherent insensitive nature against radiation suffered on the medium altitude orbit. Thermal energy storage using latent heat of fusion seems the best choice for this system. The power transmission from ESOPS to ground station presents most critical problems due to non-stationary characteristics.
