Solar Space Technologies (SST), is an Australian company planning the development and commercialisation for base load, dispatchable space-based solar power generation for Australia and the world. SST have developed a system to produce Space Solar Power (SSP) through use of a solar satellite in geostationary orbit over Australia.  As the sun always shines in space, SSP produces renewable energy 99.8% of the time. The SPS Alpha satellite collects the solar energy and transmits it as microwaves, far more efficient in penetrating the earth’s atmosphere, to a terrestrial rectenna to convert this energy into electricity for general use.  SST is founded on the collaborative efforts between John C. Mankins, a leading expert in the field of space solar power with 25 years’ experience at NASA, and Serdar Baycan, an acclaimed Melbourne based architect with a 30-plus year career delivering major public and technical facilities.
