Beaming the Watts Down: NASA × Ascent Solar’s Thin-Film Array Sets the Stage for Space-to-Earth Power Transmission

Beaming the Watts Down: NASA × Ascent Solar’s Thin-Film Array Sets the Stage for Space-to-Earth Power Transmission

Ascent Solar signed a 12-month agreement with NASA in June 2025 to develop thin-film PV arrays for power beaming. Caltech’s SSPD-1 tested orbital power beaming in mid-2023, but end-to-end efficiency remains extremely low. Ascent’s CIGS modules, used on NASA’s Psyche probe, target over 17% efficiency and weigh about 10 grams per panel. Large ground farms and strict beam-control are required for safety and regulation.

  • HSBC Leads UK in Dividend Payments for 2025 Amid Strong Financials
    May 3, 2026, 12:27 PM EDT. HSBC paid out more dividends than any other British firm in 2025, according to Computershare's UK Dividend Monitor. Despite a moderate yield of 5%-6%, HSBC's dependable track record and global footprint, especially in Asia and the UK, make it a favourite among income investors. The bank reported a 7.5% revenue increase, driven by favourable interest rates and cost controls. With a net margin near 29.5% and a dividend payout ratio of 61%, HSBC balances shareholder returns with financial resilience. Risks include interest rate volatility, geopolitical tensions in Asia, and competition from fintech firms. While dividends aren't guaranteed, HSBC's scale and stability offer a relatively predictable income stream within a diversified portfolio.
