This edition of the SSP Bulletin highlights growing commercial and policy momentum for space-based solar power, including new SBSP startups, wireless power advances, UK grid-integration research, solar array innovations, and use cases tied to global energy security.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Science, Space, and Technology Committee approved an amendment to the NASA Reauthorization Act of 2026 declaring that United States policy requires the fullest possible commercial use of space and a growing and enduring human presence beyond Earth. The amendment was offered by Space Subcommittee Chair Mike Haridopolos (R-Fl-8) and co-sponsored by Science Ranking Member George Whitesides, along with Reps Nick Begich, Mike Kennedy, Mat

A national survey of registered voters shows broad support for reusable rockets and growing openness to commercial launch providers, signaling public readiness for a modernized U.S. space program.

This edition of the SSP Bulletin highlights major milestones in wireless power transmission, new orbital energy partnerships, and continued progress toward scalable space-based solar power systems.

This edition of the SSP Bulletin highlights major industry awards, wireless power milestones, new funding announcements, and continued commercial momentum in space-based solar power.

As human presence in orbit reaches 25 years, the International Space Station stands as proof that large-scale partnerships and complex operations can succeed in space. The next phase must move beyond demonstration toward a productive low Earth orbit economy focused on tangible products, services, and sustained commercial demand.

A recent Senate hearing framed lunar competition too narrowly as a race to reach the Moon, rather than a strategic contest to build lasting infrastructure and economic value there. The Space Frontier Foundation argues that true leadership will come not from arrival alone, but from creating the systems, partnerships, and long-term vision needed for sustained activity on the lunar surface.
