10. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL STUDIES Recommendations for early further in-depth studies complementing the technology program are: a. Analyze transient thermal effects on the transmitting antenna structure, waveguide and electronics as it passes in and out of eclipse to determine impact on controllability and materials selection. b. Analyze power beam ionospheric effects to estimate impact on other users and provide a detail model for phase front control simulation. c. Model closed loop phase front control to better estimate error budget and performance under transient conditions. d. Determine special requirements for multiple (^100) stations relating to spacing in orbit and on the ground, control, frequency selection and interference. e. Detail alternate uses and intermediate benefits of MPTS and potential impact on its design and development. f. Investigate ways of reducing transportation and assembly costs by a better synthesis of launch vehicle, assembly and equipment technologies.
