CASSIOPeiA
World’s first phased array antenna
with 360° electronic beam steering capability.
GOVERNMENT GRADE TECHNOLOGY
IECL's CASSIOPeiA concept has been adopted by Space Solar Group as the foundation of its part UK government funded program to develop commercial Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP).
To date, one of the biggest engineering challenges in harnessing space based solar power has been designing a satellite capable of constantly facing the Sun while also beaming the power back to a fixed point on Earth. CASSIOPeiA provides a uniquely capable solution that solves this challenge without moving parts, with the potential to gather energy from the Sun and relay it back to Earth via microwave beams 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

INDEPENDENTLY VALIDATED
IECL'S CASSIOPeiA satellite design is poised to turn the dream of harvesting solar power in space into reality. Our satellite prototype succesfully delivered a world-first demonstration of 360° power-beam steering within an anechoic chamber at the Centre for Wireless Innovation (CWI) at Queen's University Belfast, sending highly directional, microwave beams safely across the lab.
WHY SOLAR?
“We should be using Nature's inexhaustible sources of energy: sun, wind and tide. I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! ”
— Thomas Edison, Inventor
Passive Electronically steered array, having Reduced phase Shifters Indefinitely Distributed across the Aperture:
