This paper has briefly described the objectives, current status and future directionof the Air Force program in satellite power technology. Primary emphasis is on advanced component, subsystem and systemlevel technologie to meet steady-state power requirements of 5 to 30 kW. Thus advanced solar cell, electrochemical energy storage and high voltage power generation, distribution and power conditioning technologies will be emphasized. Solar, chemical andnuclear power sources along with all known energy conversion and advanced energy storage options will continue to be investigated. The need for unique approaches to thermal control, heat transport and thermal rejection has clearly surfaced as an impotant technological challenge. High voltage power conditioning technology to match unique power source characteristics to specialized load requiremets warrants and will receive continued emphasis.
