The manned Space Station is the object of the next major NASA program. It presents many challenges to the power system designers. The power system, in turn, is a major driver on the overall configuration. The major requirements and guidelines that affect the station configuration and the power system are explained. The evolution of the Space Station power system from the NASA program development-feasibility phase through the preliminary design phase is described. Several early station concepts are described and linked to this concept. The recently completed Phase B trade study selections of photovoltaic system technologies are described. A summary of the existing solar dynamic and power management and distribution systems is also given for completeness
