Sizing, Buckling, and Thermal-Structural Analysis of Tall Lunar Tower
Tall lunar towers enable direct collection of solar energy using solar panels that can generate power exceeding 100-kW above shadowed regions on the surface. Tall lunar towers also support solar reflectors and concentrators for solar farms, which enable various mission architectures on the lunar surface. The Tall Lunar Tower (TLT) project at NASA Langley Research Center is focused on the design, modeling, fabrication, and testing of an assembled TLT Engineering Development Unit (EDU). In this paper, the design and analysis plan of a TLT is presented and predicted buckling and thermal-structural response of the TLT EDU on the lunar surface are investigated.
