Successful Test Raises Prospects of Space-Based Solar Power Generation

HYOGO, JAPAN - MARCH 08: The microwave receiver antenna is seen at Mitsubhishi Electric Corp.'s outdoor testing ground on March 8, 2015 in Hyogo, Japan. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has successfully transmitted electricity converted into microwaves in an experiment that moves the world closer to receiving energy generated by orbiting solar panels. Although there are still many remaining obstacles, such as the massive costs associated with setting up such a system, JAXA and partners estimate that a solar panel in orbit with a diameter of two to three kilometers could generate a gigawatt of electricity, equivalent to the power created by a nuclear reactor.
