Bryna Anderson's 'Astral Power Tower' has taken the first place prize at the 2010 Moon Capital International Design Challenge. This contest was held to find the best design capable of making the conceptual Lunar Solar Power System a reality.
The Lunar Solar Power System is a proposal from American physicist Dr. David Criswell to generate power from the moon back to Earth. The 'Astral Power Tower' would collect energy from the sun and beam it back to Earth, providing up to two kilowatts of energy per person.
