Space Electricity
Space electricity refers to the generation and use of electrical energy in outer space. This can involve solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, which powers spacecraft and satellites. Additionally, space missions often utilize batteries to store energy for use when sunlight is not available.
Another aspect of space electricity is the study of plasma, a state of matter found in stars and the solar wind. NASA and other space agencies explore how electric and magnetic fields interact in space, which can affect satellite operations and communication systems. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for future space exploration.
