Space Solar and Thales Alenia Space are teaming up to work on a
commercial space-based solar power system, a move toward
distributing renewable energy from space to Earth.
The companies said Monday that the new partnership builds on an
existing collaboration in the context of a U.K. government
innovation program. Both companies are committed to bringing to
life the technology needed to deliver space-based solar power, they
said.
Thales Alenia Space--a joint venture between France's Thales and
Italy's Leonardo--is also leading a feasibility study for the
European Space Agency to assess the viability of spaceborne solar
power plants, aiming to make an decision by 2025 on a program for
commercialization, it said.
