A modified version of the Satellite Solar Power System (SPS) is proposed. The original SPS was conceived by Dr. Peter Glaser of MIT in 1968, as a series of large, photovoltaic solar collectors orbiting at geosynchronous altitude, and converting and beaming the collected solar power to the earth surface using microwave energy (which can pass through cloud cover). This system has been studied extensively in the past. The modified version of the SPS will make use of the moon as the 'satellite'.
