Space-Based Solar Power: From Vision to Reality - Technology, Spectrum and Regulatory Challenges
As interest grows in clean, resilient energy solutions, space-based solar power is moving from science fiction towards serious engineering reality. This webinar brings together experts from industry, government, and academia to examine the latest developments, key technical and regulatory challenges, and the UK's potential role in this emerging sector. Join us to explore whether space solar power could become a transformational contributor to future energy security and Net Zero ambitions, or whether significant barriers still stand in the way.

The Sun and Climate Change
Our Earth has shown wild variations in climate over the last few hundred million years. The ultimate driver of climate is the Sun, which has increased in luminosity by 30% over it's 4,500 million year current life. We will see how the sun works and how it influences the Earth and our climate on ever shorter time scales, including the 11 year sunspot cycle. Finally, we will see how recently CO2 has become increasingly important and look at the most likely future.
