- Step 1: Electricity generated from a source on Earth is converted into electromagnetic energy and transmitted in a collimated beam to a relay satellite.
- Step 2: In space, a constellation of orbiting satellites forms a global power grid. The beam is electronically steered to send energy from one relay satellite to another.
- Step 3: Satellites redirect the power beam to the instructed locations, such as one or more satellites, or one or more locations on Earth.
- Step 4: Back on Earth, the incoming electromagnetic beam is converted back into electricity. A communication signal can also be encoded onto the energy beam, allowing information to be assigned to the energy beam for tracking and transparency purposes.
