Space based solar power test planned by Japanese team
A coalition of Japanese researchers from the JAXA, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, HI Corp and Kyoto University will test space based power generation this spring. They aim to convert sunlight to electricity in space, transmit microwaves to Earth, and receive them at ground stations in a desert or ocean area. The trial focuses on efficient microwave conversion and, if successful, could lead to practical use by 2025 with a Solarbird style concept of many small satellites generating power.
