How NI Technology Powers the Space Elevator

LaserMotive’s first project earned $900,000 USD in the Nasa-sponsored Power Beaming

Challenge in the space elevator Games. The system transfers power wirelessly via laser light

to a remote, airborne, mobile photovoltaic receiver that can be located 1 km away or more.

Learn about a machine vision system based on NI tools and how it can automatically locate

the receiver and steer the laser beam.
