Abstract :
Institute for Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer, USEF, has been studying Space Solar Power System, SSPS, as future electricity alternative energy source. From 2009, USEF started new research and development project of the Microwave Ground Wireless Power Transmission under a support of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, METI. This project includes the study for high efficient and thin structured phased array antenna, and the study for high efficient rectenna element. Also this project plans to test ground wireless power transmission as a previous stage to the next space proof of SSPS. In this paper, outline and progress of this project are introduced.
