The unilluminated portion of a gravitationally stabilized solid-state-satellite solar-power station (GSS(exp4)PS) spherical solar collector is illuminated by employing optical solar reflectors. The different mechanisms required for implementation of this arrangement are already space proven. The detailed study of this arrangement made by the authors reveals that practical realization of this concept will enhance the power generation capability of the GSS(exp4)PS and simultaneously reduce the weight per unit power and cost per unit power in GSS(exp4)PS spherical solar collectors.
