About
Corey Bergsrud is a forward-thinking researcher whose work centers on the intersection of space-based energy systems and sustainable power generation for extraterrestrial industries. His primary research areas include space solar power (SSP) satellite systems, wireless power transmission, and the development of energy infrastructure to support lunar and planetary colonization. Bergsrud’s most cited paper, “Space Solar Power Satellite Systems as a Service Provider of Electrical Power for Lunar Industries” (2013, 12 citations), outlines a visionary framework for using SSP to deliver reliable electricity to future lunar bases. This work is notable for its practical approach to integrating large-scale solar arrays in orbit with microwave or laser energy transmission to receivers on the Moon’s surface. By reframing SSP as a service-oriented utility rather than a standalone technology, Bergsrud has contributed a foundational perspective to the field. His research underscores the critical role of space-based power in enabling long-term human presence beyond Earth, positioning him as a key voice in the emerging dialogue on space resource utilization and off-world energy security.
