Once I brought my vision for a space-based solar power satellite to life with a physical model, I wanted to create a digital version to explore the design further. The only issue was that I had never used design software before!
Enter TinkerCAD, a design software I discovered through online research. Thanks to its intuitive interface and wealth of online tutorials, I was up and running in no time.
My TinkerCAD model features a satellite with expansive solar panels. Here's how it contributes to a sustainable future:
The focus is on maximizing energy collection through the large solar panels, crucial for a satellite aiming to provide substantial clean energy. The simplicity also allows for scalability. Imagine a network of these satellites working together as a massive clean energy source!

A space-based solar power satellite like this could be a significant step towards a world powered by 100% renewable energy. Imagine a future with cleaner air and reduced reliance on fossil fuels! This project is just the beginning. As sustainable technologies develop, we can keep visualizing a future powered by clean energy solutions, where both bustling cities and remote communities thrive under the light of space-based solar power!
