Some aspects of distant system for energy supply of low orbit satellites by means of the ground based microwave
sources are considered. The general principles of plasma-flare transformation of microwave energy Into the
energy of quasisteady current are described. The estimations of energetic and mass parameters as well
as overall dimensions of the board and ground based systems are performed. The comparison with
alternative technical systems are made.
