This digest will seek to provide a forum for discussion of wireless power transmission, solar power systems. It is hosted by alumni and faculty of the International Space University, but is open to everyone with an interest in this area.

This journal has been around for over 10 years and it features in-depth, yet understandable articles in these areas and more. I have typed in the information on the journal advertisement brochure below. Notice that several ISU faculty members and visiting lecturers are associate editors. Also, each summer I ask some ISU students to write papers for the journal and at least 2 papers written by ISU students have been published in the last 2 years. There have been many fascinating papers published in the journal that are relevant to human expansion into space by use of space resources. Two years ago, the Journal of Lunar Exploration and Development (published by the notorious G. Canough) was merged with Space Power, so that Space Power does not only deal with energy, but also material resources. So I invite you to subscribe to the journal and/or get your local library to subscribe. The subscription rates are among the lowest for a technical journal. Inspection copies are available upon request (fill out form below). The Council for Social and Economic Studies and the SUNSAT council are affiliated with the United Nations. I also invite you to write an article for the journal. We are always looking for good papers. If you have an idea, and want to discuss it, feel free to contact me, or any other associate editor, or Andy Cutler (Editor). And, if you would be so kind, please cross post this note to other space and science bulletin boards! Thanks! --- Gay ********************************************** Copied directly from the brochure about Space Power: Space Power is a quarterly, international journal for the presentation, discussion and analysis of advanced concepts, initial treatments and ground-breaking basic research on the technical, economic and societal aspects of: large-scale space-based solar power, space resources utilization, space manufacturing, space colonization, and other areas related to the development and use of space for the benefit of humanity. Papers, letters, notes, comments and occasional editorial are published as well as topical book reviews. Contributions: Submissions should represent the original work of the authors and should not have appeared elsewhere in substantially the same form. Proposals for review papers are encouraged and will be considered by the Editor on an individual basis. Four copies of submissions and an abstract (not exceeding 400 words) should be sent. English is the official language of the journal. Editorial assistance will be provided to authors whose native language is not English. Dr. Andrew Hall Cutler may be reached by telephone at 602 322 2997 or 327 9205, by facsimile at 602 326 0938 and by mail : 4717 East Fort Lowell, Tucson, Arizona 85712, USA Papers are of general and lasting interest and are written so as to make them accessible to technically educated professionals who may not be familiar with the specific area discussed in the paper. Letters and notes are used to air particular points and concepts when a lengthy paper is not required. Comments allow workers in the field to respond to, elucidate and expand particularly interesting points in previously published papers. Editorial and opinion pieces of approximately one journal page in length are published if they are well argued and pertinent to the content of the journal. Topical books, journals, proceedings and meetings are reviewed when considered to be of high standard. Space Power is published by the Council for Economic and Social Studies, 6861 Elm St. Suite 4H, McLean, VA 22101 on behalf of the SUNSAT Energy Council.
