Star Catcher Industries has set a new record for beaming power at a distance. Its Star Catcher Network technology beamed 1.1 kW of power at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida using off-the-shelf solar panel components.

In 1941, science fiction author Isaac Asimov introduced the public to the concept of beamed solar power from space, decades before it became a serious engineering proposal by Peter Glaser in 1968.
