NASA is developing an ambitious project that will allow collecting solar energy directly in space and transmitting it to Earth. This can radically change the way renewable energy is obtained.
As part of this project, it is planned to deploy arrays of solar panels in Earth's orbit. They will collect solar radiation without obstacles that arise in the atmosphere, which will significantly increase the efficiency of energy collection. The energy will be transmitted to the Earth in the form of microwaves or laser beams, which will then be converted into electricity.
The advantage of space solar farms is the ability to collect energy around the clock, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. This will provide a stable source of clean energy that will not depend on seasonal changes or geographic location.< /strong> Scientists believe that such an approach could become key in the fight against global warming and the energy crisis.
NASA has already conducted successful experiments that confirm the viability of this concept. The next step will be the development of full-scale prototypes and testing of the technology in real space conditions. If the project is successful, it will open a new era in energy, where humanity will be able to use the unlimited resources of space to power our planet.
