Space-based solar power connects the ambition and inspiration of space exploration with tangible benefits to Earth by addressing the persistent and growing need for more clean energy.
NASA is already developing technologies for its current mission portfolio that will indirectly benefit space-based solar power, the report found. These include projects focusing on the development of autonomous systems, wireless power beaming, and in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing.
In contrast, space-based solar power (SBSP) systems enable the utilization of 99 % of solar energy 24 h a day. However, while SBSP has shown the potential to produce a more stable power supply and sustainability, it is still in the early stages of its evolution, requiring further research and development.
Research trend on space-based solar power. A research trend for SBSP has been formed along with interest in SBSP and historical research and development trends. In 1968, the concept of SBSP was researched and technically implemented by Dr. Peter Glaser [ 46 ], and he published the first paper on the subject in 1976 [ 47 ].
The idea is to use huge solar arrays parked in space to collect and beam solar energy down to remote ground stations on Earth via focused microwaves. Space solar power stations could beam collected energy to anywhere they can see; the transmitted energy can pass through clouds.
