2021年3月23日 · The contracts are part of the agency’s Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project, which aims to support NASA’s long-term lunar surface operations. VSAT is led by STMD’s Game Changing Development program and Langley in collaboration with NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.

2022年8月23日 · NASA has selected three companies to further advance work on deployable solar array systems that will help power the agency’s human and robotic exploration of the Moon under Artemis. Through Artemis missions, NASA will return humans to the Moon and establish a long-term presence near the lunar South Pole.

2020年9月15日 · TheVertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project is focused on the development of solar array technologies necessary for sustained presence on the lunar surface circa 2028. VSAT will explore vertical array deployment on masts of up to 10m in length in order to capture continuous sun light at the lunar south pole.

NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is developing and constructing a Government Reference Design (GRD) version of the Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) Demonstrator for lunar surface applications. This paper provides an overview of the conceptual design effort and discusses the planned demonstrations of its associated mechanisms. Introduction

2024年9月16日 · LAMPS is a vertically oriented energy-harvesting solution, capable of generating up to 10kW of continuous power on the surface of the Moon, enough to generate a day’s worth of energy for a five-bedroom house on Earth. With thermal vacuum testing complete, LAMPS is now TRL 6 ready as a verified prototype system. Photo Credit: NASA/David DeHoyos.

2024年7月20日 · Astrobotic‘s Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) is a key technology that will be used to harness solar energy for the company’s commercial, lunar power grid that is being prepped to enter thermal vacuum (TVAC) testing in Chamber A …
