SOLSPACE

The five-year SOLSPACE project, supported by an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council, will undertake an adventurous programme of research to investigate the use of ultra-lightweight orbiting reflectors to enhance the output of future terrestrial solar power farms. This will involve the integration of four research themes spanning orbital dynamics and mission analysis, attitude control and structural dynamics, reflector design and fabrication and energy systems and economic modelling. The SOLSPACE project will combine modelling and simulation with laboratory-scale technology demonstration.
