Latest Breakthrough in Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) Technology

Space-based solar power involves harnessing solar energy in space using satellites equipped with solar panels, then transmitting the generated electricity wirelessly to Earth for various applications such as power generation . CASSIOPeiA is a space based solar power concept that stands for Constant Aperture, Solid-State, Integrated, Orbital Phased Array. This marvel of engineering has huge satellite with solar panels and system of mirrors placed in the geostationary orbit which is suitable for wireless power transmission. It has no rotating or moving parts and the while the solar energy collecting area is constantly facing the sun. With ongoing studies and the concept of CASSIOPeiA validated , the company is planning to develop the system and demonstrate the technology from space within next six years. <a href="https://vidhyashankr22.medium.com/latest-breakthrough-in-space-based-solar-power-sbsp-technology-d8fe04fedc43">Website</a>
