Abstract
Construction methods, vibration reduction techniques and attitude control of space solar power satellites (SSPS) proposed so far are introduced. The SSPS that generate more than 1GW electric power, which corresponds to one nuclear power plant, require some squire kilometers. First, construction methods and various types of SSPS such as SPS2000, JAXA reference models of 2004/2005, USEF/JAXA (former ISAS) model, Tokyo Institute of Technology model, AIST model of Japan, Russian model and MIT model of U.S.A. are discussed. Second, vibration analysis and reduction technique using tethers conducted in Hokkaido University is presented. Finally, attitude control using tethers researched in Tokyo Metropolitan University is introduced.
