Converting Solar Radiation into Rotating Dynamoes or Rotating Catapults

Converting Solar Radiation into Rotating Dynamoes or Rotating Catapults

There is interesting new work from Cool Worlds. A quasite is a conceptual space-based satellite system proposed by the Cool Worlds Lab (led by astronomer David Kipping), representing a hybrid or modified version of a traditional statite. A statite is an earlier idea for a solar sail-based satellite that remains completely stationary relative to a

Live Event: Space Based Solar Power

Live Event: Space Based Solar Power

As global energy demands grow space-based solar power (SBSP) may offer a compelling long-term solution. A comprehensive international assessment completed under the International Academy of Astronautics concluded that solar power satellites (SPS) could deliver continuous, large-scale electricity from orbit to Earth unaffected by weather or time of day. Traditional renewables and existing infrastructure alone may
