Abstract :
Humanospheric science is very important for the human future. The humanospheric science is defined as an interdisciplinary science to conduct research concerning a humanosphere. Space solar power systems (SSPS) and microwave power transmission (MPT) are some of the most important systems and technology for the humanosphere in the future. The MPT is the third application of radio waves next to wireless communications and remote sensing. From the 1980s MPT and SPS studies were started in Kyoto University. We show some MPT experimental results in Kyoto University and show the prospective future in the world.
