Utilizing SBSP entails in-space collection of solar energy, transmission of that energy to one or more stations on Earth, conversion to electricity, and delivery to the grid or to batteries for storage. MAPLE consists of solar radiation receivers (left) and an array of flexible lightweight microwave power. . Our solar-powered Suborbital gliders operate at 60-70,000 feet in the space between aviation and satellites. They hold-station over any location for months, streaming live video of thousands of square kilometers, continuously, day and night, all-weather, even through canopies. If successful, this could revolutionize how we generate electricity, eliminating dependency on fossil fuels and providing a constant power supply —even to remote locations., this includes the management of energy distribution and efficiency).
