This poster presents the details of work on the SunSat spacecraft design initiative at the University of North Dakota. This project seeks to advance technologies1 and to increase public awareness of Space Solar Power based via visualization, science and engineering work. It will also focus on the development and demonstration of a workable solution and consider the economic benefits2 that the proposed (and alternate) solutions may generate. This poster details the design project which will construct a transmitting Nano Space Solar Power Satellite (NSSPS) and a power reception satellite for a space-to-space Microwave Wireless Power (MWP) demonstration. The SmallSatstyle spacecraft4, …
