Space Solar's CASSIOPeiA satellite design resembles a spiral staircase, with photovoltaic panels as 'treads' and rod-shaped dipoles as 'risers', transmitting solar power without moving parts.
The system comprises dinner-plate-sized power modules converting solar energy into DC electricity, which is then transmitted back to Earth through dipole antennas and converted into microwaves for power generation.
Technologies like in-orbit assembly are rapidly advancing for space applications, as mentioned by Adlen, CEO of Space Solar.
While space-based solar power projects involve large fluxes of microwave or radio radiation, they are considered relatively safe with effects similar to standing in the evening sun, though further research is needed for comprehensive safety assessments.
