Illuminating the dark side of the moon

Illuminating the dark side of the moon

At the lunar south pole, there are permanently shadowed regions and deep craters that are potentially hiding ice and other valuable resources. ‪@HoneybeeRoboticsLtd‬  together with ‪@blueorigin‬  have created a portable, flexible, and deployable solar array to support human and robotic exploration on the moon’s surface. It’s called Diablo- short for Deployable Interlocking Actuated Band for Linear Operations, and it can harness the almost perpetual energy from the sun. When this technology is deployed, there may no longer be a dark side of the moon.
