Powering The Moon Using Vertical Solar Array Technology | NASA Langley

In this episode of NASA Edge, Blair and Franklin learn more about Vertical Solar Array Technology, or VSAT, from NASA Langley's Chuck Taylor. VSAT could provide critical charging power for infrastructure and tools on the Moon.

"Unlock the power of the Moon with Lockheed Martin's innovative Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT). As humanity sets its sights on establishing a sustainable presence on the Moon, reliable and continuous power is crucial. VSAT is designed to harness solar energy efficiently in the lunar environment, providing power for habitation modules, mobility vehicles and in-situ resource utilization."

"Learn how VSAT aligns with NASA's goals for lunar exploration and how it will play a pivotal role in enabling prolonged human and robotic missions on the Moon."
