“…Operator health degradation 5 , biosphere may degrade 6 As described in [161], even with the inherent increase in available power from space satellites, the applicability of this concept may impose legal challenges, such as ensuring safe operation and minimizing biosphere degradation. Additional steps might include the development of various architectures, protocols, safety concepts, prototypes, and concept verification stages.…”

Recently, major climate events highlighted the increasing need to use sustainable technologies in the transportation domain. Energy production infrastructure, storage, and propulsion systems still rely on non-sustainable technology for economic growth. Therefore, this study reviews the modern transportation propulsion systems and transportation infrastructure components, describing the possible outcomes for several future directions based on prototypes and study advances. The in-production vehicles were reviewed for providing immediate, robust, and renewable solutions for the existing non-sustainable transportation infrastructure. The study continues with extended-capability vehicles and their limitations and vulnerability based on the current infrastructural circumstances. An alternative energy transfer infrastructure has been concluded to possibly provide the necessary capabilities to approach a neutral carbon footprint and mitigate ongoing climate adverse events. The hypothetical prototype uses distance energy transfer to bypass the described environmental constraints and provide a direction for achieving a possibly sustainable and economically evolving infrastructure.

“…This means that space-based solar power in GEO is not intermittent and that it can, in theory, serve as baseload power. 121 For 50 years, countries have tried to develop spacebased solar power, so far without success. However, the past 15 years have seen significant improvements in the technology and economics of space-based solar power.…”
