Vlad Cherevko I have been interested in all kinds of electronics and technologies since 2004. I like to play computer games, and I understand the work of different gadgets. I regularly monitor the news of the technology in the world and write materials about it.
The Ohisama project was created in 2023 by Japan Space Systems and today it has great prospects. The project involves the launch of a satellite weighing 180 kg, which will rotate around the Earth at a height of 400 km. It will be equipped with a solar panel of 2 m² with a drive that will allow to collect energy and transfer it to the ground in the form of electromagnetic waves. The reception station in the Japanese city of Swa will be equipped with 13 antennas of 600 m² and will be able to convert the resulting energy into electricity.
“This mission marks a decisive step on the way to space solar power plants that will provide net energy regardless of the earth’s weather,” said Kaychi Idzichi, Japan Space Systems consultant.
The first tests provide for the transfer of 1 kW of energy – enough to operate household appliances. The main call is the precision of the transmission: energy should enter the reception field with a width of 40 km at a speed of 28 000 km/h.
If the project is successful, in the future large -scale geostationary systems will be able to produce up to 1 GW of energy, which is enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. However, the initial tests should confirm the accuracy of land stations and the efficiency of energy conversion.
Japan seeks to prove the effectiveness of this technology, which can pave the way to create large -scale orbital solar power plants.
