4 FAQs about Expanding the telescopic solar power generation system

Does the telescope energy system meet the community's demand?

In the last two scenarios, the demand of the community that cannot be satisfied thanks to the telescope energy system is still met by the local energy provider CESPA, which runs on diesel-based generators. These scenarios were assessed using a techno-economic optimization model, following a MILP.

What is the Hubble Space Telescope?

The Hubble Space Telescope, jointly developed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA), was among the first to adopt a flexible solar array with a membrane substrate and elastic thin-walled tubes (Fig. 7).

How much power does a solar array generate on the International Space Station?

The solar arrays of a single experimental module on the CSS unfold to cover an area of 138 m2, with each unit generating 18 kW, contributing to a total station power supply exceeding 100 kW. Fig. 1. Solar arrays on the International Space Station.

How do flexible solar panels affect on-orbit reliability?

The large flexible solar array panels determine energy collection efficiency, while their on-orbit reliability also depends on factors such as force-shape matching design, coordinated stowage and deployment control, and nonlinear dynamics control.
