Gemasolar is the first commercial solar plant with central tower receiver and molten salt heat storage technology. It consists of a 30.5-hectare (75-acre) solar heliostat aperture area with a power island and 2,650 heliostats, each with a 120-square-metre (1,300 sq ft) aperture area and distributed in concentric rings around the 140-metre-high ...
NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. [1] The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.
"NASA stated cost increases, delays to the launch date, and the risks of future cost growth as the reasons to stand down on the mission." NASA announced they would consider "expressions of interest" from industry to use the "VIPER rover system at no cost to the government". In October 2024, VIPER passed all pre-launch tests.

PSLV Orbital Experiment Platform (POEM) also known as PSLV Stage 4 Orbital Platform (PS4-OP) [1] is an orbital micro-gravity test bed based on spent fourth stage of PSLV.By adding modular subsystems for power generation, communication and stabilization like photovoltaic cells, Telemetry and Telecommand (TT&C) package, attitude control system, data storage etc to the PSLV fourth stage, it can ...
Feb 2005 in Popular Science Magazine - Dishing Out Real Power - Costs are down, interest is up, and the Stirling solar system is ready to flick the switch. Jan 2005 in US News - It has been said that solar energy is the future of energy and always will be. But growing concern about climate change and high oil prices is generating new interest ...
Theoretical planetary astronomy is concerned with dynamics: the application of the principles of celestial mechanics to the Solar System and extrasolar planetary systems. Observing exoplanets and determining their physical properties, exoplanetology, is a major area of research besides Solar System studies. Every planet has its own branch.
A solar hydrogen panel is a device for artificial photosynthesis that produces photohydrogen from sunlight and water. The panel uses electrochemical water splitting, where energy captured from solar panels powers water electrolysis, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is discarded into the atmosphere while the hydrogen is collected and ...
