Power Hotspots in Space: Powering CubeSats via Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Power Transfer

open access: yes, 2021
We present the concept of power HotSpots wherein the bigger satellites in low earth orbits (LEO), having power generation capacity much larger than CubeSats, can transfer their excess energy to CubeSats in need, using optical wireless technology.
