Description

Description

The Sun Chasing project aims to build a space solar power station, a giant power plant in space that collects sunlight in orbit and converts it into microwaves or lasers to beam energy back to Earth or spacecraft. The project has developed a ground-based test system for wireless power transmission capable of charging multiple moving targets simultaneously, with recent tests achieving 20.8% efficiency over 100 meters and delivering 1,180 watts of power. The project is currently in phase two, focusing on generating high power in space and efficient long-distance transmission, with plans for in-orbit tests.
