Innovators in the field of space solar power are outperforming expectations for commercial application, motivated by the potential for harvesting solar energy on a 24/7 basis, unimpeded by weather or climate.
The US Space Force is working on an orbiting quantum antenna that could play a part in the race to develop space solar technology.
NASA is lending its financial muscle to help an Arizona startup send its self repairing solar panels into space and meet the demand for larger, more powerful arrays.
Space solar once seemed like a faraway dream, but the economic case is taking shape and the basic technology is at hand.
It’s viable to produce low-cost, lightweight solar panels that can generate energy in space, according to new research from the Universities of Surrey and Swansea. The first study of its kind followed a satellite over six years, observing how the panels generated power and weathered solar radiation over 30,000 orbits. … [continued]
NASA wants new solar cells to sport a “Made on the Moon” label, using only materials harvested from the Moon.
Kooky-sounding idea of beaming down solar power from space is actually a real thing, and the US Air Force is on it.
The Naval Research Lab has hitched a ride aboard the latest X-37B flight with a device designed to test the feasibility of space-based solar power.
