This giant disk floating in space... is a power generator harvesting energy from the Sun for a variety of uses back on Earth. Such spaced-based power generators have many applications, not just on Earth, but also in space. Two small solar panels couls power a communications satellite, four panels might power a robotic interplanetary probe, six panels a manned spacecraft, while 20 panels might supply energy to a lunar base. 3, record 5, English, - space%2Dbased%20solar%20power

[...] la production d'électricité à partir de l'énergie héliospatiale (c.-à-d. la conversion de l'énergie solaire dans l'espace) serait techniquement et économiquement réalisable au XXIe siècle. À court terme, une multinationale pourrait placer un prototype sur orbite, afin de démontrer que tous les éléments d'un tel système (c.-à-d. les panneaux solaires, les antennes hertziennes réseau à commande de phase, les stations de réception et les systèmes informatiques) peuvent travailler de concert. 4, record 5, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20solaire%20spatiale
