Japan Aims to Beam Solar Power from Space: The OHISAMA Project

If successful, OHISAMA could be the stepping stone to launching full-scale solar power stations in space, capable of generating up to 1 gigawatt of power—enough to run an entire city.
From Sunlight to Socket: Japan''s OHISAMA Project Beams Solar Power

Beaming 1 kilowatt of solar power from 400 km above Earth, Japan signals a future of satellite- powered cities without cables. In a groundbreaking move, Japan is set to harness celestial
Japan to Beam Energy Down to Earth From Space in First Real Test

OHISAMA represents the first real attempt by Japan to demonstrate space-based solar power (SBSP) in action, a concept that has intrigued scientists since the late 1960s but remained
Japan is aiming for solar energy from space: how it works and why it

This satellite has collected solar energy in space and has transmitted wirelessly to a receiving station on Earth, in Suwa, Japan. This achievement marks the first full-scale demonstration
Japan Is Launching a Satellite That Beams Solar Power to Earth

In 2025, Japan will launch OHISAMA, a satellite that beams solar power down to Earth via microwaves. It''s a small step for power output, but a giant leap toward uninterrupted, weather-proof, space-based
Japan plans to transmit space energy to Earth | USA Solar Cell

Set to launch in 2025, this innovative project, named OHISAMA—meaning “sun” in Japanese—aims to harness solar energy in a way that could change how we think about renewable
Japanese satellite will beam solar power to Earth in 2025

Japan will test solar power transmission from space in 2025 with a miniature space-based photoelectric plant that will wirelessly transmit energy from low Earth orbit to Earth.

In 2015, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully transmitted 1.8 kilowatts of power over a distance of 55 meters using microwave technology. Building on these
Japan Plans to Beam Solar Power from Space to Earth

The energy beamed from space won''t be enough to run more than a coffee maker—but if all goes to plan, Japan will soon make history by transmitting solar power wirelessly from orbit to Earth.
Japan Making History by Harnessing Solar Power From Space

Japan''s OHISAMA project, named after the Japanese word for sun, will launch a space-based solar power station that can wirelessly beam energy back to Earth.
