The US Space Force Is Also Catching Space Solar Fever.

The US Space Force is becoming involved in the development of space solar power, which has the potential to provide 24/7 solar power at a multi-gigawatt scale. Research teams from the US, China, and the UK are working on the technology, with implications for military and civilian use. Companies like Orbital Composites and Virtus Solis are advancing the technology with the aim of deploying a space solar pilot project by 2027. The US Air Force is also exploring space solar power through its SSPIDR program.
