You are sounding more and more not like an Admiral but like a troll. Also you are beginning to use lefty technique of attacking the source personally rather than further discussing and defending your position that I am an uninformed plagiarist. Cellphone don't photograph starlike usable photos and 60-80,000 feet away. we are working on using a telescope/camera combo if we can find one. The platform seemingly is attempting to use the most efficient power generation to get it daily back and forth and stabilize it in a stationary position during experimentation. That may be solar/battery/exotic fuel combination. This is JMHO.So, you don't even own a cellphone with a camera?I'm just a civilian without cameras capable of effectively photographing this daily phenomenon. Are you part of this initiative?
KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. --
The Air Force Research Laboratory is developing space-based solar power transmission capability using high-efficiency solar cells to collect the sun’s energy, convert it to radio frequency, and beam it to earth.
“Energy is a strategic enabler and potential vulnerability for our nation and our Department of Defense� said U.S. Air Force Col. Eric Felt, director of AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate. “To ensure DoD mission success we must have the energy we need at the right place at the right time.�
Providing uninterrupted, assured, and agile power to expeditionary forces operating in unimproved areas such as forward operating bases would provide an advantage to U.S. and allied forces.
“The Space Solar Power Incremental Demonstrations and Research (SSPIDR) Project is a very interesting concept that will enable us to capture solar energy in space and precisely beam it to where it is needed,� Felt said. “SSPIDR is part of AFRL’s ‘big idea pipeline’ to ensure we continue to develop game-changing technologies for our Air Force, DoD, nation, and world.�
AFRL researchers are focused on developing and demonstrating some of the key technologies necessary to integrate into a conceptual space-based power beaming system. Northrop Grumman will partner with AFRL and has been awarded a contract valued at more than $100 million to develop and deliver the critical hardware elements to support space-based experiments into this leading-edge technology.
You said this occurred in the evening. Why test solar power in the evening and why do it over a populated area when the deserts of NM are where the base is located? You also need stop cutting and pasting without citing the source. That is plagiarism in a nutshell. Who do you think you are. Joe Biden?
