In our latest Q&A feature an expert panel discusses the development of space-based solar farms that beam clean energy back to earth

Space Solar and Thales Alenia Space UK are to continue their collaboration toward developing the first commercial space-based solar power (SBSP) system.

Space-based energy could be a solution to moving away from fossil fuels - but how does it work? We asked an expert.

An exciting line-up of speakers has been announced for an event that will highlight key developments in the North East’s fast-growing space…

The UK's Satellite Applications Catapult is funding research into a future Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) system. The aim is help create a fully renewable

Alongside oil, gas, wind and hydrogen, the North Sea could host space-based solar collectors under plans proposed by a UK developer.

The project by UK-based Space Solar Ltd involves putting solar panels into Earths orbit, assembled by robots, that convert electricity into high-frequency radio waves transmitted to the surface.

Scientists in the county could be at the forefront of a project which would see solar farms operating from space.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Space Bridge between UK and Australia

Concept — which uses giant reflectors in orbit around our planet to take in the suns rays. it points to potentially unlimited electricity, with no carbon footprint. more energy from the sun hits earth in one year than the total ever provided by fossil fuels and nuclear power. so — is this the future or pie in the sky? well — dr sam adlen is the co—chair of the uks space energy initiative and head of innovation at the satellite applications catapult — which aims to capture 10% of the gl...
