Aerospace science could help solve our planet’s energy problem
The POT is conducting in-depth studies to determine the feasibility of collecting solar energy from space. This could supply clean energy to the earth and make it easier to switch from fossil fuels to greener ones.
According to SpaceNews, the agency is working on the study to short term to assess the possibilities of space-based solar power: “As the technology has evolved, the viability of the system has changed over time,” he said. “This study is going to assess the extent to which NASA should support space-based solar power.”
Studies on this question are not new, but have been going on for decades, so the goal is to re-examine old concepts that were raised in the past to determine if any are suitable for collecting solar energy from space and transferring it to Earth to convert it into the precious electricity that makes life easier for us every day.
