Space Technology Mission Directorate - Game Changing Development Program - Vertical Solar Array Technology Project
Abstract
The Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project is focused on the development of solar array technologies necessary for sustained presence on the lunar surface circa 2028. Existing solar array structures and deployment system technologies are designed for either zero-g or horizontal surface deployment. VSAT will explore vertical array deployment on extension masts of up to 10m in length in order to capture near continuous sun light at the lunar south pole.
