Moon-made solar station could transmit power from space to Earth

The European Space Agency (ESA) has been exploring an innovative solution to help us meet our climate targets: transmitting solar power from space to Earth — also known as space-based solar power (SBSP). Harnessing the sun’s power from above our planet comes with two main advantages: access to higher energy intensity and the lack of weather-dependence, a major problem of terrestrial solutions. To test the feasibility of SBSP, the ESA has partnered up with the European tech industry
