Japan, led by JAXA, is preparing space-based solar power demonstrations that collect sunlight in orbit and wirelessly transmit electricity to Earth via microwaves. Unlike ground solar, space arrays can harvest energy day and night, unaffected by weather. Planned tests are small-scale and experimental, but success would mark a historic step toward continuous clean energy from orbit, with long-term implications for global power supply. Important Details: • Solar collection in orbit • Wireless micr
