Earth Receives First-Ever Power Beam From Orbiting Satellite
Harnessing the Sun’s power extends beyond stationary solar panels.
In a groundbreaking experiment conducted last year, a collaborative effort involving the California Institute of Technology’s (Caltech) Space Solar Power Project (SSPP), Indie Semiconductor, Inc., NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Amazon Web Services, and the Caltech spinoff startup GuRu Wireless, successfully captured solar power using an orbiting satellite.
The results of this experiment have been outlined in a recently shared paper on arXiv.
The project, known as the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1), was developed to explore three experimental technologies, including space solar power.
While solar panels on Earth are affected by weather conditions and nighttime darkness, orbiting solar panels can operate at night, provided they maintain contact with the Sun’s rays.
The challenge lies in establishing a reliable method to transmit the collected energy back to Earth for use in powering homes, businesses, and various public resources.
The Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment (MAPLE) embodies the concept behind SSPD-1, constituting one of its three integral technologies, Extreme Tech reported.
