  • More satellite pollution coming

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 29 17:12:52 2023
    Nikkei reports a Japanese public-private partnership will attempt to beam solar energy from space as early as 2025. The project, led by Naoki Shinohara, a Kyoto University professor who has been working on space-based solar energy since 2009, will
    attempt to deploy a series of small satellites in orbit.1

    Another promising use of satellite technology.

    Presumably the small satellites are just for test purposes. It would take large satellites to actually be useful.

    Yes, thousands of square meters of collection area, I'd think.
