Lightweight Deployable Solar Reflectors
Lightweight Deployable Solar Reflectors Stanford University researchers are developing lightweight, low-cost modular solar reflectors for use on the Moon. The reflectors will be designed to concentrate sunlight into permanently shadowed areas of the Moon, potentially powering photovoltaics or other applications. The team will utilize recently developed origami design algorithms to enable compact and reversible stowage […]
