America intends to launch a space solar power satellites in 2025


This is NASA commissioned John - Mankins Dr designed to use flexible solar panels in space transmit energy to the Earth, which floats in space satellites called "Alpha Solar Power Satellite (SPS-ALPHA)".

Mankins pointed out that, according to the funding situation, Alpha solar power satellite launch as early as 2025, a solar power satellite will be able to meet the energy needs of one-third of humanity. With this technology the energy transferred to the ground, the ground stations capture, and then diverted to the user.

According to Mankins was envisaged that the system consists of thousands of thin curved mirror-like components, can move freely in space, ensuring the ability to capture as much energy. Meanwhile, power generation photovoltaic panels inlaid inside the satellite, solar energy can be converted into microwaves. After the microwave from the bottom release cocktail cup satellite transmission to the ground stations, which it is received into the microwave power, and then transmitted to the consumer.

Dr. Mankins This space power system cost is very low, only in the installation of polycrystalline solar panels on satellites orbiting the earth only. At NASA's official website, he noted that the project was very innovative, ways to achieve through the bionic space solar collection. If successful, we will try to build a large power generation platform, through wireless energy transmission, provide electricity in remote areas of the Earth.

The amount of available space solar power on Earth billions of times the energy of the sun to long been deemed to meet the growing energy needs of a solution. 2012, Strathclyde University researchers tested a device in space, and for collecting energy in the form of microwave or laser beam back to Earth. This test is Mankins NASA leadership institute an advanced concept study component.

Researchers' ultimate goal is to create a constellation of satellites, able someday to the city supply. Initially, this micro-satellites can not replace the grid. Their advantage is that it can quickly provide disaster or power supply in remote areas difficult to reach. Strathclyde University in Muscat Migliano - Dr. Wasi Le said: "Space is a collection of solar energy is an ideal place, has a huge advantage in space, you can at any time of the day to collect solar energy while not weather conditions will be constrained.
