Europeans Developing Space Based Solar Power Technology
Europe’s largest is seeking partners to help get a solar power mission into orbit. EADS Astrium is keen to prove their concept with a demonstration mission. A successful mission would lead to more funding and improvements in technology to show how placing solar cells on large satellites in space and beaming back the energy to earth is doable without accidentally frying anything. They hope to get into launch mode in the coming decade.
