Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
May 18, 2020 | 2:17
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory engineers launched PRAM, the Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module, aboard an Air Force X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle on May 17, as part of a comprehensive investigation into prospective terrestrial use of solar energy captured in space.
Depending on the results, the team aims ultimately to build a fully-functional system on a dedicated spacecraft to test the transmission of energy back to Earth. The development of a space solar capability could potentially help provide energy to remote installations like forward operating bases and disaster response areas.
