"Space-Based Solar Power: The Next Renewable Energy Revolution"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Space.com
The SOLARIS initiative and Caltech's Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) are advancing the concept of space-based solar power, a technology first imagined in science fiction. Despite recent successful tests, including beaming energy to Earth, significant challenges remain, such as scaling up, autonomous deployment, and cost. Advocates argue that with continued innovation and investment, space solar power could become a viable, scalable solution for global energy needs.
