- The Caltech Space-based Solar Power Project (SSPP) is working to deploy a constellation of modular spacecraft that collect sunlight, transform it into electricity, then wirelessly transmit that electricity wherever it is needed1. The project aims to collect solar power in space and transmit the energy wirelessly to Earth through microwaves, enabling terrestrial power availability unaffected by weather or time of day2. In January 2023, the Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) is poised to launch into orbit a prototype, dubbed the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD), which will test several key components of an ambitious plan to harvest solar power in space and beam the energy back to Earth3.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.
