The course author, John Clarkson, contacted me through C-SBSP to make me aware of this online course about space-based solar power. I have purchased the course and completed the 1-1/2 hours of included lectures on a broad range of SBSP-related topics. Many other learning resources are also included.
I have concluded that this course would be worthwhile to anyone seeking a solid introduction into the following topics from the course outline:
- Space Based Solar Power (SBSP)
- How SBSP works
- What are its major advantages and drawbacks of SBSP?
- Which nations are developing SBSP and why?
- An idea of what it costs to get SBSP into orbit
- Rockets, how they work, with some mathematics
- Orbital mechanics and how this is relevant to SSP
- Wider future market opportunities for SBSP, including direct and indirect markets both new and to be developed
- Why SBSP will be an investment in the future
- SBSP weapons – Are they feasible? Can we make them safe?
- A wider knowledge of the economics of energy and how SBSP can change it
