The Chinese decided to use the promising superheavy carrier "Changzheng-9" in the creation of a space solar power plant. It will be located at an altitude of almost 36 thousand kilometers and transmit the collected energy to the Earth.

China plans to use a promising superheavy rocket currently being developed for the construction of a powerful space solar power plant.

Its location will be a geostationary orbit. One of the options involves the transfer of converted energy to the Earth using lasers.

Among the advantages of such a system is the possibility of almost constant production of solar energy, without reference to weather conditions. The beginning of the project implementation can be considered as a test power generation, which they want to carry out in 2022.

A commercial gigawatt-class station can start operating in orbit by 2050. This will require more than 100 launches of Changzheng-9 and about 10 thousand tons of infrastructure assembled in orbit.

In the spring, one of the most important events in the history of the Chinese space industry took place: The Changzheng-5B launch vehicle has successfully launched the first module of the new space station, which will become a conditional analogue of Mir and the ISS, into low Earth orbit.
