The project is called APACE and this method is inspired by the way plants and bacteria convert light into chemical energy.
Through photosynthesis, they will exploit the natural ability of bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. It will be converted into laser beams to transmit energy into space.
It will be a revolution in the way we power space facilities that could be built on the Moon or Mars.
It will be a renewable energy source and environmentally friendly.
It is now being tested in laboratories and then experiments will be performed in space.
