The Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) has taken a significant step forward with the launch of its prototype, the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD), into orbit. The aim of this project is to harness the endless supply of solar energy available in space and transmit it back to Earth. This approach to solar power generation is unique as it is not subject to the constraints of day and night, seasons, and cloud cover. The SpaceX launch of the SSPD marks a significant milestone in the project, bringing the possibility of space-based solar power closer to reality, which is a … Continue reading Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project Takes Giant Leap Forward with SpaceX Launch
