What are the ISS requirements for power and data?
Are there any issues with the choices made by designers (e.g., solar cell material, solar panel structure and size, type of computers and memory storage)?
What challenges has the ISS faced in terms of electrical power and data handling?
How does the ISS receive power when the station isn’t in sunlight?
What battery technologies have been used on the ISS?
How would you have designed the system differently?
What challenges has the ISS faced in terms of electrical power and data handling? How does the ISS receive power when the station isn’t in sunlight?
