Orbiting Thin Space Mirrors Could Boost Ground Based Solar Power
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6JE8Y)
A new research paper in the Acta Astronautica journal describes a constellation of mirror satellites to increase the power at the large solar farms on Earth. Among all cases, the paper found SSO (sun synchronous orbit) and single reflector cases to be superior. A constellation with 20 reflectors could deliver a significant quantity of solar ...
