Japan Develops New Space Laser
The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Osaka University Institute of Laser Engineering are expecting to soon launch a new space laser system. The main focus is to generate energy.
The adjoining neodymium and chromium plates will be able to beam sunlight down to the surface using lasers with 42% effectiveness. A ground station can then convert the beams into electricity.
This new space laser system will be able to allow energy to generate around the clock.
Scientists believe that they can generate as much energy as a 1 gigawatt nuclear station by the year 2030.
