"According to Space Solar, the trial proved that robotics can assemble gigawatt-scale solar power satellites."
"This is a milestone not just for our satellite architecture, but for the future of large-scale structures in space."
British startup Space Solar has demonstrated its ability to use robotic arms to assemble a support structure for a solar power satellite at the UK Atomic Energy Authority's facilities. This successful trial highlights the potential for robotic technology in creating large-scale solar infrastructures in space, paving the way for a future in space-based energy solutions. By 2029, Space Solar plans to launch a demonstrator system and aims to deploy a gigawatt-scale solar farm by the early 2030s, revolutionizing energy capture from space.
