Space Solar Power
We are involved in promoting the concept of Space Solar Power, beaming power generated from space to terrestrial grids (or to other assets in space, a “space power plug”). Since 2001 the Foundation has sponsored U.S. Senate Roundtables on Space Solar Power. Contact Taylor Dinerman for more information.
We thank Space Energy for providing sponsorship for this activity.

We are transforming space from a government- owned bureaucratic program into a dynamic and inclusive frontier open to people. We are determined to convert the image held by many young people that the future will be worse than the present, and we reject the idea that the world's greatest moments are in its past.
