Space Power Systems
Space Power Systems are technologies designed to generate, store, and distribute energy in space environments. These systems are crucial for powering spacecraft, satellites, and space stations like the International Space Station. They often utilize solar panels, nuclear reactors, or batteries to ensure a continuous energy supply.
The efficiency and reliability of Space Power Systems are vital for long-duration missions, such as those to Mars or beyond. Engineers focus on developing lightweight materials and advanced energy storage solutions to optimize performance in the harsh conditions of space, where traditional power sources may not be feasible.
