Multiple smaller satellites, not a fewgigantic spacecraft. Improved robustness.
Much smaller rectennas, serving localareas. Reduced ground-based powertransport, reduced ground footprint
Reduced initial investment to obtain anoperational system.

R & D Studies
1) if you are interested in this idea, then you should take a look at the Mira-solar (or Mirasolar) design developed by Dr Fraas [inventor of the triple
junction solar cell], here are some web links:http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/03/mirrors-in-space-for-low-cost.html http://jxcrystals.com/solarPV/MiraSolar_Satellite_Concept.pdf
2) In LEO it is not possible to get global coverage from a SSO, because youcan only see a small part of the Earth from the altitude of ~1000kilometres. You can only supply power to the thin strip of the Earth which isnear the day/night terminator
3) for a multi-satellite constellation in LEO outside of SSO , to achieve globalcoverage you need to have thousands of Earth ground stations on dayone. For GEO you only need one ground station.
4) the changing line of sight distance and polarization makes the groundstations and the spacecraft much more expensive than for a GEO architecture,i.e. with active steering and adjustable gains.
Thank You Charles Radley for in depth research & concerns

Microwave / Antenna
The largest such array yet built and will serve as a test bed for a concept known as MassiveMIMO.
MIMO, or multiple -input, multiple- output, is a wireless networking technique aimed attransferring data more efficiently by having several antennas work together to exploit anatural phenomenon that occurs when signals are reflected en route to a receiver. The
phenomenon, known as multipath, can cause interference, but MIMO alters the timing of datatransmissions in order to increase throughput using the reflected signals.

Recently SunPower announced it broke the record for solar cell efficiency for a large area silicon wafers. NREL certified the SunPower cellat 24.2%. I anxiously pulled up one of my favorite solargeek charts, NRELs Best Research -Cell Efficiencies to plot SunPower saccomplishment.The key term in the title of this chart is Research -Cell. By definition a research cell is typically a one off and small (on the order of1cm2). Researchers at University of South Wales still hold the record for single crystal silicon cells (aka monocrystalline) at 24.7%.SunPowers announced a full -scale solar cell that is a certified record holder for large area silicon wafers. SunPower, you overcame one challenge, making a large cell. This is impressive. I look forward to removing almost from my po st whenyou announce a new product line manufactured at scale with a 24+% efficiency OR you announce a research 24.8+% research cell.
