Raising the Bar for Artemis Program’s PPE Solar Array Simulation Frame
How a mobile-robot gantry system successfully met the PPE solar array simulation frame’s unique weight, structural, seismic, lifting, electrical and mobility requirements.
NASA’s Artemis Program will send humans back to the moon to establish a lunar ground base and space station. Known as Gateway, the space station will be powered by the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) module, which utilizes large solar arrays of advanced, multi-junction solar cells to generate 60 kilowatts (kW) of power.
