Japan's Space Solar Power Satellite (SSPS)

Japan’s Space Solar Power Satellite (SSPS) project aims to capture solar energy in space and transmit it back to Earth. Unlike traditional solar panels, which are affected by weather and daylight, SSPS satellites can harness consistent sunlight. They convert this energy into microwaves, which are then beamed down to receiving stations on the ground. This innovative approach has the potential to provide a continuous and clean energy source, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The project aligns with global efforts to find sustainable energy solutions and addresses the growing demand for renewable resources.
