New Solar Satellite Could Harvest the Sun’s Rays 24/7 From Outer Space

Since the early 1970s, scientists have been toying with the idea of collecting solar power in space, where solar collection rates are stronger than on the surface of the Earth. But because of the costs and technical challenges involved, the concept still remains in the realm of science fiction. That all could change with a new proposal from John Mankins from Artemis Innovation Management Solutions, who claims to have come up with "the first practical solar-power satellite concept....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/design-for-the-first-practical-solar-power-satellite-concept-unveiled/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
