Space Based Solar Collection

The european space agency, also known as the e s a, is actively considering to increase their energy independence. They want to be able to produce as much of their own energy as possible. The satellites that they're proposing would convert solar radiation into current and then beam down the collected energy in the form of micro waves. Each one approximately ten times the mass of the international space station. It's estimated that the satellites could collect as much as one third of the annual,. a three thousand terrawat hours used in europe.
