Broadcast in January 2012 With the growing interest in next-generation energy, space solar power generation is attracting attention. A plan that sounds like science fiction, in which energy is transmitted to the earth from a huge solar power plant floating in space, is about to become a reality. It is said that the power transmission will use microwaves and lasers, and energy can be delivered to any point on the earth with pinpoint accuracy. We will take a closer look at space solar power generation, which will change our view of energy. Main interviewees: Susumu Sasaki (JAXA), Tatsuto Fujita (JAXA), Hiroshi Matsumoto (Kyoto University), Masaki Shinohara (Kyoto University), Tadashi Kanabe (Fukui University), Hirofumi Kanamori (Shimizu Corporation Research Institute of Technology) ************************************************************************************ <Galileo X program website> http://web-wac.co.jp/program/galileo_... #SolarPower #AlternativeEnergy #SpaceSolarPower
