In the 1940s, science fiction author Isaac Asimov theorized the concept of collecting the sun's energy in space, then beaming that energy down to Earth. Today, Northrop Grumman's Space Solar Power Incremental Demonstrations and Research (SSPIDR) Project team is making that science fiction a reality with steady progress towards transmitting solar energy from space to anywhere on Earth.

By studying lunar samples retrieved by the Chang'e 5 mission, Chinese scientists found that lunar soil grains retain more solar wind-implanted water at the middle latitude region than previously thought.
Based on this finding, the scientists predict that there is a large amount of water resources available for utilization at the high latitude region of the moon.
