I have recently been digging into the concept of Space Based Solar Power. After a little bit of reading on the subject, I put together a quick graphic outlining the major pieces of infrastructure that would be needed or infrastructure that would need to be improved in order to make SBSP a long term reality. It seems that test systems can be constructed with much less infrastructure, but in the long term space infrastructure may start to look at little more like this graphic.
