The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission aims to map auroral electrojets, improving scientific models of space ...

A group of Kingston University in London engineering students have developed a rocket engine powered by an unusual but highly ...

Researchers beamed over 800 watts of power across 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles) of atmosphere. Then, just to prove the point, they made popcorn with the transmitted energy.

Travel: Advanced civilizations could potentially use powerful lasers for beamed energy propulsion, using beams of light to propel spacecraft through space. The video also highlights that LaserSETI can ...

This prestigious recognition underscores the potential of OceanWings’ innovative Wind Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS) to revolutionise fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the ...

Abstract: In 1965, a paper titled “Microwave Rocket Concept” was published discussing the possibility of utilizing high-powered microwave discharge for propulsion, 1 pioneering research in the field ...

Designing Space-Based Solar Beaming solar energy from space is not new; telecommunications satellites have been sending microwave signals generated by solar power back to Earth since the 1960s.

When all is said and done, when a space solar power system comes online in 2050, the energy costs to the consumer would be anywhere from 12 to 80 times what it would be from ground-based systems.

Green Solar Energy Beamed From Space May Soon Be Cheap and Plentiful Published Oct 19, 2023 at 11:43 AM EDT Updated Oct 30, 2023 at 12:29 PM EDT ...

The idea of space-based solar energy has been around since at least 1941, when the science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov set one of his short stories, “Reason,” on a solar station that beamed ...

It also shows that from 47 km, the highest transmission factor is at 1022 nanometers, where about 20% of the beamed energy would reach a surface lander.
