Space-Solar Energy Initiative Announced by Kalam – National Space Society

The eleventh President of the National Space Society and India, Dr. A.P.J. Kalam, has announced the Space Solar Indian-American Energy initiative. In the quest to solve energy crisis the Kalam-NSS Energy Initiative’s goals have emerged. One of the most promising solutions to solve the energy crisis is to go beyond earth’s atmosphere to tap onto [...]

Imagine Resources Depletion on Earth; The Only Option Would Then Be to Exploit Energy from Other Planets

There are still an abundance of resources available on the earth’s surface. However, if ever energy sources such as fossil fuel or other necessities (non-renewable) would become exhausted, the sole option would be to search on other planets. So the discovery of energy sources might no longer only be envisaged on planet earth but even [...]

Exploiting Solar Energy From Space

Solar power from the space can be developed into a sustainable and clean source of energy around the Earth, on the Moon or anywhere else where man would probably go. Our satellites and space stations that are in orbit around the planet Earth are already energized by solar power. The trick comprises of harvesting the [...]

Where is Solar Energy Heading?

There are many who are for solar energy. However, solar power hasn’t been very cost effective for the recent decade. Now, innovative technology is bringing the price of solar energy down to competitive levels. It is leveling to other alternative sources of energy. It is interesting to consider the idea of generating an unlimited and [...]

Overview of Space Solar Energy

Ex-terrestrial solar energy is an ancient concept but yet not materialized. The sun which shines in the outer space is both brighter and more constant. There is neither day nor night in space. This means that having solar collectors orbiting could provide clean space solar energy 24 hours a day through out the year. If [...]

Awaking Solar Power Generates 600 TW of Energy from the Sun

An analysis of the ‘Report of the Basic Energy Sciences Workshop on Solar Energy’ says that as much as 600 TW of energy can be harnessed from alternative sources of energy. Technology, research and incentives are the only hindrances. The Sun – The Big Solution – Solar energy is one great answer to all our [...]

Solar Fuels Life Existence Why Not Man Utilizations

In the morning as you walk along the road, the shining rays of the sun represent an astronomical source of energy that is under-utilized. There are few who even think about the sun as energy. Energy that provides electricity for home users, to drive cars, to light up shopping complex and more or less everything [...]

Japan Going For Space Solar Energy

Japan, well known for its advanced state in technology, is going towards space project to generate electricity for people on earth. Going outside the earth is a great step that is yet to be realized sooner than we might expect. According to Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), it has been announced that as much as [...]

Space Based Solar Power Installation Gets The Green Light

California regulators have surprisingly approved a utility contract that means America’s initial space based solar power installation has a green light. The space solar array is expected to produce two hundred megawatts and convert energy harnessed in space into radio frequency waves that will be transmitted back to earth stations near Fresno, California. Those radio [...]

Space Based Solar Power Installations Under The Cynic’s Microscope

Just the thought of being able to produce solar power generation from space based solar power plants has had many in the industry simply giddy from expectation. Through numerous joint ventures linking private companies and space organizations such as NASA and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency or [JAXA], ambitious proposals are being made to further space [...]
