👉 The Clarke Project, also known as the Clarke Solar Power Project, is a significant initiative in space-based solar power (SBSP) aimed at harnessing solar energy in orbit around Earth and transmitting it back to the planet. Proposed by physicist Richard Clarke, the project envisions deploying a large solar array in geostationary orbit to collect solar energy, which is then converted into microwave beams or lasers and transmitted to receiving stations on Earth. These stations convert the energy back into electricity, providing a continuous and clean power source unaffected by weather or night cycles. The Clarke Project aims to address global energy demands sustainably, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and offering a scalable solution for future energy needs.
