Bill, et al, Since this topic was proposed at WARC-79 and essentially laughed out of the conference, it has come up several times in the ITU, usually in the form of input papers from NASA. As a placeholder, ITU-R Study Group 1 (spectrum management) has maintained a low priority study Question which raises the essential points: http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/que/R-QUE-SG01.210-2-2007-MSW-E.doc The topic isn't on the agenda for WRC-11 nor the tentative one for WRC-15.

When this pipe dream was floated 30+ years ago it was going to be 2.45 GHz. SSPS was part of the US proposals to WARC-79.

Wonder what frequency this will operate on and how "clean" it will be spectrum-wise?
