China Plans 1km Wide Space Solar Power Station, Using Super Heavy Rockets, to Generate Energy Equivalent to Three Gorges Dam
Jan 10, 2025, 05:15 AM
China is advancing plans to construct a solar power station in space, measuring 1 kilometer wide, which aims to generate energy equivalent to that produced by the Three Gorges Dam. This ambitious project, described as 'another Three Gorges Dam above the Earth,' will utilize super heavy rockets for its development. The energy collected by this space-based facility is expected to be transmitted back to Earth via microwaves. The initiative has raised discussions regarding its potential military applications, including the possibility of solar-powered space-based lasers. A senior Chinese scientist has confirmed the project's details, emphasizing its revolutionary impact on renewable energy.
