Keval Dattani interviewed at COSPAR 2025 on laser power beaming
8 FOMOFounder Keval Dattani appeared on AstrotalkUK to explain Space Power’s wireless laser power-beaming system. The technology adapts laser wavelengths in real time to maximise absorption by any solar panel type, enabling eclipse top-ups and life-extension for ageing GEO satellites without hardware changes on the customer spacecraft. Lunar lander survival through the long night was highlighted as a future use case.
Why it matters
Public technical explanation at a major scientific congress signals growing confidence ahead of the planned BAE Systems in-orbit demonstrator.
