4 FAQs about [Solar Power Generation Demonstration Hall]
Can solar power power the International Space Station?
"Solar panels already are used in space to power the International Space Station, for example, but to launch and deploy large enough arrays to provide power to Earth, SSPP has to design and create solar power energy transfer systems that are ultra-lightweight, cheap, and flexible."
Where is NASA preparing a solar electric flight demonstration?
NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland leads the Solar Electric Propulsion project for the agency and is preparing a system-level flight demonstration.
Can the first solar plant provide reliability services?
It was shown that the First Solar plant can provide essential reliability services related to different forms of active and reactive power controls, including plant participation in AGC, primary frequency control, ramp rate control, and voltage regulation.
How will SSPD be carried to space?
A Momentus Vigoride spacecraft carried aboard a SpaceX rocket on the Transporter-6 mission will carry the 50-kilogram SSPD to space. It consists of three main experiments, each tasked with testing a different key technology of the project:
