Picture this, fiery laser beams shooting to various parts of the earth. No there are no meteors expected neither is this a description of war of the worlds part 2. This is something that all the solar energy enthusiasts should have done long back; harnessing sun’s energy right from infront of the source. JAXA or the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency is actually making a Space Solar Power System that would consist of a satellite type object. This object would be installed in the orbit nearly 22,400 miles above the earth’s surface and would catch sun’s rays. These rays would then be converted into laser beams and sent to different bases on earth. Something like friendly fire beams. Testing begins on 20th February and if successful (the whole thing will be complete by 2030), it would energise over 500, 000 homes for free!
