This paper describes Caltech's Space Solar Power Demonstration One (SSPD-1) payload and upcoming mission on Momentus Space Vigoride 5. SSPD-1 is comprised of three experiments each of which demonstrates the performance of a key technology piece in the space environment. We describe the goals of SSPD-1. The three experiments - Alba, DOLCE and MAPLE are discussed. The launch of SSPD-1 is scheduled for November 6, 2022 on Space X's Transporter 6 mission.
