The United States “found” space shuttle astronauts on the 20th successful launch of the International Space Station is also a fourth group Finally a group of solar panels. This marks the 10-year-long construction of the international space station can finally enjoy the full load power supply.
NASA TV television pictures showed the day’s solar panels to work carried out very smoothly. • With astronaut John Phillips, press the button to give directions, solar panels like “folding up the map” as to start slowly. Events start at half time, Phillips will be suspended for one hour so that solar panels absorb sunlight to prevent them stick together.
In this process, the other astronauts closely watching the solar panels in order to abnormal situations respond in a timely manner. In 2007, a solar panel to start the process, the battery plates have been accidental “injuries”, the astronauts were forced to carry out an emergency spacewalk to repair.
Board battery to start the day fully functional, the international space station’s solar panels will increase the total generating power of 120 kilowatts. This is a permanent space station’s “expansion” is also crucial. According to the plan, in May of this year, members of the International Space Station from the current long-term mission of 3 people to 6 people.
“Discovered” its on the 15th of this month from the United States, Florida, Kennedy Space Center launch on the 17th with the international space station docking. During the docking, “discovered” crew will be implemented in 3 spacewalks to complete the space station to install the relevant components. “Discovered” No. 25 is expected to be from the International Space Station, on the 27th landing at Kennedy Space Center.
