Space-Based Solar Power Enablers Webinar

This webinar will showcase the exciting outcomes of our most recent project on Space-Based Solar Power.

The Satellite Applications Catapult is driving forward the development of Space-Based Solar Power in the UK, as a founding member of the Space Energy Initiative, and through our commitment to this technology in our new five-year strategy.

For the last four months, we have been working on an enabling project for Space-Based Solar Power, which has focussed on three important areas – wireless power transmission from space, in-orbit servicing and manufacturing (IOSM) and programme assurance. You can find out more by clicking here.
