The Transporter-6 mission successfully launched at 6:55 a.m. PT on January 3. Dubbed the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD), which will test several key components of an ambitious plan to harvest solar power in space and beam the energy back to Earth.

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been working on testing and unlocking the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) on the recently launched Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP).

The team behind the Caltech Space Solar Power Project will test out the systems that will allow their flexible solar panels to unfurl in space.

The Transporter-6 mission successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on January 3.

On january 3, 2023, the prototype satellite of caltech's space solar power project (SSPP) was successfully launched into orbit.

The prototype spacecraft will test how solar power can be generated from orbit and sent wirelessly back to Earth.

The Transporter-6 mission successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on January 3.

The Space Solar Power Demonstrator will test the feasibility of transmitting solar to Earth as electricity and was made possible by $100M in funding from Irvine Co. Chairman Donald Bren.

The California Institute of Technology's Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD) has been launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, in a mission to test the viability of harvesting solar power in space.

Caltech is getting ready to launch a first-ever space solar power demonstrator to test the viability of space-based solar power generation.
