Lunar Power Station is a solar power satellite to deliver MWs of microwave power to the lunar surface with a small integrated habitable space station. . The agency plans to down select up to two companies and provide additional funding, up to $7. 5 million each, to build prototypes and perform environmental testing, with the ultimate goal of deploying one of the systems on the Moon's South Pole near the end of this decade. Advanced solar arrays and electric thrusters enable sustainable deep space exploration, supporting Artemis missions and future Mars. . Building a lunar base is crucial for space exploration and resource use, but requires a reliable energy system. Existing lunar energy system plans usually concentrate on one or two techs and lack a full - scale analysis of long - term, stable, and adequate energy solutions. As the GE ✪ -LPS concept and its energy production functions may be scaled to any dimension, larger versions could be positioned in Earth orbit to provide clean solar energy for terrestrial pur oses. . The Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GE???-LPS) is a habitable space stationin lunar orbit that is designed to provide solar energy for lunar operations. Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) and space tourism could become major economic drivers for future space development.
