Satellite Could Be First Step Toward a Space-Based Power Grid
Original: This Satellite Could Be the First Step Toward a Power Grid in Space https://gizmodo.com/this-satellite-could-be-the-firs
Gizmodo reports on a satellite that could serve as the first step toward building a power grid in space, an ambitious concept involving collecting solar energy in orbit and transmitting it back to Earth. The idea of space-based solar power has long been floated as a potential clean energy solution, and this project is being presented as an early proof of concept.
Why now: Interest in space-based solar power and new space technology developments is drawing attention to this early-stage demonstration.
