With scientists revealing plans to build the first solar power station in space, China is taking its renewable energy push to new heights, said the Sydney Morning Herald. According to China's Science and Technology Daily, construction of the first experimental space power plant began in Chongqing, southwest China, weeks ago.
(Xidian University/Handout via Xinhua) BEIJING, June 22 (Xinhua) -- China has made a milestone advance in its effort to build a solar power station in space to convert the sunlight in outer space into an electrical supply to drive the satellites in orbits or transmit power back to the Earth.
According to China's Science and Technology Daily, construction of the first experimental space power plant began in Chongqing, southwest China, weeks ago. Li Ming, senior vice president of the China Academy of Space Technology, said China is expected to become the first country to build such a plant with practical value.
In 2015, Northrop Grumman Corporation in the U.S. sponsored a $17.5 million research over three years for the development of the Space Solar Power Initiative (SSPI). Duan proposed in late 2013 to kick off China's own initiative and then his team put forward China's tech approach of SSPS called OMEGA.
