  Japan's OHISAMA Project Beams Solar Power from Space! Japan's OHISAMA Project is an ambitious initiative  aiming to revolutionize clean energy by  harnessing solar power from space. " OHISAMA ," meaning " sun " in Japanese, is spearheaded by Japan Space Systems and is slated for a demonstration launch in 2025. Project Overview Objective : To collect solar energy in space and wirelessly transmit it to Earth, providing a continuous and weather-independent power source.  solar panel will gather sunlight in orbit, store energy in an onboard battery, and beam it back to Earth with microwaves. To pick up the signal, the ground antennas, which cover a distance of 25 miles, must be placed three miles apart because of the blistering speed of 17,400 mph of the satellite. Demonstration Satellite : Weight : Approximately 400 pounds (180 kilograms). Solar Panel : 22 square feet (2 square meters). Orbit : Low Earth Orbit at about 250 miles (400 kilomete...
