Building solar power plants in space would be enormously expensive; but as Andrew Wilson — a researcher at the Advanced Space Concepts Lab at Scotland’s University of Strathclyde — told Space.com, once built, the space solar plants would pay for themselves much faster than any Earth-based renewable power-generating technology; and the space-based harvesters could potentially take in eight times more solar power than Earth-bound solar panels....

New NASA Report Suggests We Could See Space-Based Power After 2050
Source: Universe Today : Date: 16-02-2024
The authors suggest looking into the technology every few years, as NASA has been for decades at this point, to see if any specific technical hurdles aren’t being addressed as part of other projects. For now, they didn’t find any. But plenty of technologies that weren’t even mentioned in the report, such as asteroid mining or deployable lightweight structures, could also fundamentally change the economic calculations. One thing is for sure – whatever future reports on the viability of SBSP will have plenty of new advances to consider.
NASA’s Space Solar Power Plan Lacks Ambition

he NASA report is bizarrely tone-deaf and disconnected from the agency’s own Moon-to-Mars infrastructure objectives. Unlike the European Space Agency, which has done excellent work visualizing the link between a lunar base camp and Space Solar Power, the NASA study does not consider any unity with the Artemis Accords, the America-led project to return to the Moon.

The paper developed by the Waterloo group addresses a growing area of lunar research. To reduce the volume of materials that need to be transported to the moon in future missions it has been proposed that locally found raw materials be extracted, refined and used for energy, life support and construction. The emerging fields of In-Situ Resource Processing and In-Situ Resource Utilisation are essential to the future exploration and development of the moon.
Arthur D. Little Pioneers Clean Energy From Space With Direct Sun Reflection
Source: Arthur D. Little : Date: 08-02-2024
Arthur D. Little (ADL) has announced the completion of a ground-breaking study into the production of clean energy from space via Direct Sun Reflection (DSR). DSR is a way of producing clean energy from space via a constellation of orbiting mirrors that can accurately reflect sunlight back to earth. By focusing this sunlight on pre-existing solar farms, DSR can effectively add an additional two hours of bright sunshine a day. This means that solar farms could receive up to 60% more energy a year without any additional infrastructure cost.
