The U.S. Air Force (USAF) is working on harvesting solar energy in space and beaming it back to Earth to address the energy demands of its military personnel deployed at remote bases.
The project, named the Space Solar Power Incremental Demonstrations and Research Project (SSPIDR), will allow solar energy to be harvested and beamed back to the Earth through an outpost, regardless of the latitude, longitude, climate, time, and other factors.
