Solar Power for High Priced Vehicle
Mar 25, 2009 – Astronauts Steven Swanson and Richard Arnold II hooked up solar wings on the international space station this week. The new $300 million, 115 foot long wings were delivered earlier by space ship Discovery. The space station now has 8 solar wings attached and the extra power will be used for additional experiments. The space station has always had solar power as one can only use solar power or nuclear power in space. No fuel deliveries possible.
