"Advancements in Space-Based Solar Power Technology"
A U.K.-based startup, Space Solar, has successfully tested a wireless power transmission system for a space-based solar power plant, marking a significant step towards the development of the CASSIOPeiA concept. The system, designed to wirelessly transmit power 360 degrees around, aims to provide gigawatts of clean energy more efficiently than solar plants on Earth. Placed in geostationary orbit, CASSIOPeiA would be a vast modular structure assembled in space by robots and could power more than a million homes. The successful test is a crucial milestone in making space-based solar power a reality and demonstrates the U.K.'s leading position in this new energy revolution.
