Future Solar Power Satellites: Space Sustainability for Clean and Secure Energy from Space for Earth

Time: 11:35 - 12:45
Room: Red Hall 2
Format: Campfire

Imagine a world where clean and renewable energy is harvested directly from the Sun, beamed down to Earth, transforming the way we power our planet, and providing an alternative energy source for clean and secure sustainable energy. This special session brings together an interdisciplinary panel in a campfire format to discuss novel approaches to achieve greater resilience, reduce environmental impact, and increase economic value for designing and building future solar power satellites.
