Greater Earth Energy Synergies
The Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GE⊕-LPS) feasibility study funded by the European Space Agency and completed in 2023 represented an art-to-reality evolution of artworks that began with the OURS-Orbiting Unification Ring Satellite, the OUR-Space Peace Sculpture and the Millennium SEED space art projects. These orbital artworks which were designed to be deployed in orbit utilizing inflatable space technologies were continuously developed by adding space technologies and became authentic space projects. These projects have been developed by a multinational interdisciplinary collaborative team effort and are now being exhibited in art and science museums.

Space Option Star
Humanity is facing an imminent Energy Dilemma in that the limited proven reserves of fossil fuels could reach exhaustion levels at mid-century and none of the current alternative terrestrial energy options – nuclear – wind - ground solar (PV) – can be sufficiently scaled to achieve the goal of divesting from fossil fuels by the year 2050 as is being called for by the United Nations, many governments and numerous organizations to address the Climate Emergency. Energy from space is the only near term technically feasible and scalable alternative currently available to humanity to divest from fossil fuels while meeting [...]
Space Option Star in ELEO
Developing solar power satellites (SPS) as a major energy source for Earth will involve multiple orbital demonstrators. Satellites in low Earth orbits (LEO) will have far lower costs than demonstrators in geostationary orbit (GEO) or High Elliptical Orbits (HEO), but they have the major disadvantage that they can deliver power to a receiving and rectifying antenna (rectenna) for only a few minutes, and only once every few days. However, Equatorial Low Earth Orbits (ELEO) offers the unique advantage to effectively deliver power to the same rectennas about 10 times every day. The Space Option Star in Equatorial [...]
