Ssps space solar power

The Space Solar Power Systems (SSPS) convert energy from solar rays to either microwave or laser energy and transmit it from space to Earth for energy consumers. Space-based solar power (SBSP or SSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in outer space with solar power satellites (SPS) and distributing it to Earth. In this article, we explain what an SSPS is and introduce the issues and efforts regarding energy-transmission technology involving lasers. . Proposed by the American scientist Peter Glaser, SSPS is a grand idea to build an extra-large solar power station on the Earth orbit and to transmit electricity to the surface ground wirelessly, such as through microwaves. SSPS has huge potential economic and social benefits.
