PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Antenna Technologies division of Communications & Power Industries (CPI) has received a subcontract valued at more than $30 million to provide earth station antennas for the NASA Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program's Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) project. The subcontract was awarded to CPI by Peraton, a national security company, as part of its multiyear Space Exploration Network Services and Evolution (SENSE) contract from NASA for telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) services for near-Earth missions.

Key Points: 
  • CPI will provide three 20-meter diameter gateway antenna systems, operating in X-band and Ka-band for the three LEGS sites, equally spaced around the planet to enable near-continuous direct-to-Earth communications and navigation services.
  • The LEGS antennas will ease coverage demands on SCaN's Deep Space Network, or DSN.
  • These communications services are critical to NASA's Artemis exploration program and other lunar and cis-lunar missions, as they keep Artemis astronauts on the Moon connected with their support teams on Earth.
  • The antennas are compliant with the requirements of planned lunar relay satellite constellations and NASA's LEGS program.

Solar eclipses pose a significant challenge to solar power generation, as the decrease in irradiance directly affects the output of solar energy systems.

Key Points: 
  • Solar eclipses pose a significant challenge to solar power generation, as the decrease in irradiance directly affects the output of solar energy systems.
  • As the eclipse progresses, solar generation declines in proportion to the impact on irradiance, creating a temporary shortfall in power production.
  • As a key player in the PV industry, Qn-SOLAR has summarized 11 key takeaways to reduce the impact on solar power generation.
  • A diverse energy structure with wind power, hydroelectric power, and thermal power can offset the decrease in solar power generation during an eclipse.
