As a participant in Soleil·s – the 2nd Solar Biennale – taking place at the mudac (Musée cantonal de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains) in Lausanne from 21 March to 21 September 2025, Astrostrom will present - Greater Earth Energy Synergies - its vision of harnessing solar energy from space. mudac exhibition website: https://mudac.ch/en/exhibitions/solar-biennale/ [...]
Developing solar power satellites (SPS) as a major energy source for Earth will involve multiple orbital demonstrators. Satellites in low Earth orbits (LEO) will have far lower costs than demonstrators in geostationary orbit (GEO) or High Elliptical Orbits (HEO), but they have the major disadvantage that they can deliver [...]
Astrostrom was represented by Dr. Patrick Collins at the International Conference on Energy From Space which took place in London, 17-19 April 2024. Patrick delivered two presentations and participated in a round table discussion on Policy and Collaboration on Tuesday April 18. The first presentation was: Advantages of Equatorial Orbits for SPS Demonstrator Satellites Developing [...]
The private entity of the Public-Private Partnership will comprise a consortium of strategic partners and investors that will be responsible for setting-up and administering the GEEO, and then managing its research and development programmes. Strategic partners are being sought from companies, organisations and institutions active in the fields of space, electricity supply, mining, robotics, finance [...]
Various Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) proposals have been researched since the early 1970s and currently, SBSP is being researched and developed in Europe, United States, China, Australia, Japan, India, Russia, South Korea and Japan. It is widely expected that the first Solar Power Satellite (SPS) system will be built on Earth and launched into orbit [...]
The climate and energy crises and the urgent need for sustainable and clean energy have created a ‘window of opportunity’ for energy providers – a window that is also a multi-trillion investment opportunity for Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP). Using data from the 2024 Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy, total world energy consumption [...]
