Space Exploration and the Challenges of Electric Power Transmission by Laser

Retrieved on: 
Monday, December 21, 2020

At present, the only way to transfer power over long distances in space is by electromagnetic radiation.

Key Points: 
  • At present, the only way to transfer power over long distances in space is by electromagnetic radiation.
  • At the receiver, special photovoltaic laser power converters which are optimized for monochromatic light conversion are applied.
  • Despite recent advancements in laser power transmission technologies, space applications have not been mastered due to currently unresolved challenges.
  • Electric power transmission through the vacuum of space by laser is, therefore, a key-technology limiting space exploration.
