Realizing A Global Space Solar Power Initiative

Time: 10:15 - 11:25
Room: N03
Format: Orca Bowl

Investments to develop space solar power are increasing, and the need for carbon net-zero energy has never been greater. However, many of the challenges of this concept can only be overcome through coordinated global efforts. This special session will present the first-ever international working discussion on the central question: is now the time for a global program to develop SSP to benefit people everywhere? The “Orca Bowl” will help facilitate discussion in a large group by having just 2-3 people (“Fish”) presenting the idea of SSP to a group of 4-5 potentially-skeptical questioners (“Orcas”) in front of a live audience.
