  7. SALIENT ADVANTAGES OF SPS • More intense (about eight times on average) solar radiation available • Unaffected by weather, clouds etc. • SPS illuminated almost all the time (except eclipse periods). Hence expensive storage not required • Lack of gravity simplifies structure • Waste heat re-radiated back into space, instead of warming the biosphere.
