The construction of such SSP systems, each on the order of several square kilometers in size, is handled almost entirely through autonomous robotic assembly, inspection, and maintenance in GEO and requires numerous launches of heavy payloads into space. In-space transportation of SSP components is also required to move payloads from low Earth orbit to GEO.
