Energy requirements for the space frontier
Abstract
The cost of delivering payloads to Mars orbital locations from LEO is determined and future launch cost reductions are projected. The performance necessary for future solar and nuclear space power options is predicted, categorizing the needs as survival, self-sufficiency, and industralization. The cost of present space power systems is determined and projections are made for future systems.
