| Popis: | With the development of greenhouse technologies using saltwater for evaporation and cooling, irrigation of arid regions may be possible with proper power sources. We present here space-based solar power (SBSP) as a way of expanding the irrigation network and demonstrating the relevant technologies. Once implemented, SBSP could be used for other terrestrial applications as well as space missions on the Moon or Mars. |
