The ESA has been developing satellite technology to convert the Sun’s energy in space and transmit it back to the Earth. Finally, researchers in Switzerland have worked on a campaign for clean space energy. This includes a Greater Earth Lunar Power Station, which is a solar power satellite constructed primarily from lunar resources. The Lunar Power Station would be made up of Moon-manufactured solar cells that beam down power to receivers on the moon’s surface for future activities on the moon.

Two things, at least, about this race are concerning. First, it is taking place in regulatory darkness, with few internationally agreed-upon rules and standards of behavior. Second, based on China’s faster, more steadfast progress, the U.S. is poised to lose. Recent launch delays and cuts to our lunar exploration efforts, combined with a rapid series of remarkable engineering and scientific feats from China’s space program, mean that the U.S.—and its partners—are sliding into second place right now, with potentially long-lasting consequences.
