NASA has aimed its sights towards sending humans back to the moon to develop and test technologies needed for future deep space exploration. Permanent power generation structures will play a key role in establishing habitat and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) structures. Our group, part of the NASA Big Idea Challenge, came up with a concept for a solar array large enough to power a habitat, ISRU activities, and rover exploration in permanently shadowed lunar craters at the lunar poles.
