China plans to create solar power stations in space, tapping into the concept of space-based solar power. These stations will utilize photovoltaic cells to capture solar energy and convert it into microwaves, which will then be transferred back to Earth. The project, spearheaded by senior rocket scientist Long Lehao, is akin to building a massive solar array in geostationary orbit, designed to operate without the interruptions caused by day-night cycles or seasonal changes, ensuring a steady energy supply.
China aims to develop space solar power stations to capture energy in orbit and send it back to Earth, promising continuous energy generation.
The project, likened to the Three Gorges Dam, involves creating a 1-kilometer-wide solar array at geostationary orbit to harness sun energy.
This ambitious venture is expected to capture solar energy more effectively than traditional photovoltaic cells, offering a greater energy density in orbit.
Senior rocket scientist Long Lehao emphasizes the potential stability of energy collection, unaffected by environmental changes on Earth's surface.
