China advances space solar power with multi-target energy beaming

Chinese researchers have advanced their space-based solar power technology by successfully demonstrating the ability to beam energy to multiple moving targets simultaneously. A ground verification platform at Xidian University transmitted 1,180 watts across 100 meters, and a drone received 143 watts while flying at 30 km/h. This system achieved a 20.8% overall wireless power transmission efficiency, a significant step towards powering future space infrastructure. AI
