According to CCTV news, 2022 China Space Conference is being held in Haikou, China’s space station system chief designer Yang Hong said at a professional forum on space solar power plants held today, China’s space station will provide in-orbit technology verification for future space solar power plants.
Yang Hong said that space solar power plant is one of the directions of new green energy, but now still faces many technical challenges, a single breakthrough in key technologies can be the next step in the focus.
China’s Tiangong space station has completed the basic configuration of the three modules T in orbit assembly, which also marks China’s space technology will enter a new full stage, will be for China’s subsequent space exploration reserve technology.
It is reported that the space solar power station has the advantages of being clean and sustainable, strong light intensity, not being affected by weather operations, is an effective means of large-scale use of space solar energy. Chinese space stations can provide in-orbit verification support for the technology, to contribute to China’s goal of carbon peak, carbon neutral.
