SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The best source of energy for spacecraft is sunlight. Engineers have developed technologies to convert solar energy to electrical power efficiently. Solar arrays that convert energy to electricity on the International Space Station are made of thousands of solar cells, made from purified chunks of the element silicon.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ISS uses large solar arrays to collect energy from the Sun and convert it into usable electricity for everything from life support and temperature controls to communications with Earth and propulsion systems to allow the station to dodge debris.

Detailed explanation-3: -NASA then uses a two-pronged approach to fuel the launch. The rocket’s main engines use a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spectrolab has built and delivered a world record 4.6 million multijunction space solar cells. Spectrolab’s legacy has produced over 4 megawatts of space grade solar cells launched to date, powering satellites and spacecraft internationally.
