Re: Microwave power - Testcase on Mars?

Shows how long ago we were onto things for the future.

Scientists and engineers at Caltech recently launched a special spacecraft into orbit called the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD). This spacecraft was designed as part of the Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) and will act as a direct test for what scientists call space-based solar power, or SBSP tech, which will try to beam solar power down directly from space.
