"Some of OTV-6's payloads, according to Boeing and the Space Force, included:
A new service module to increase the number of payloads carried to orbit.
An experiment that harnessed solar power and transmitted it back to Earth in the form of microwave energy.
An opportunity for Air Force Academy cadets to design, build, and deploy a satellite before joining the Space Force.
And NASA investigations into how space exposure affects materials and seeds, the latter of which could impact how food is grown during long crewed missions."
Solar power harnessed and transmitted as Microwave energy sounds interesting. 🤔
