Maximizing solar array power generation in Earth-orbiting satellites traditionally relies on sun sensors, which increase system complexity and cost. This paper proposes an orbital-attitude coupled ...

Recently, we introduced a simple power law model (PLM) to represent the J-V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances. The model is useful for design, characterization, ...

A possible cousin of Pluto seems to be circling the far reaches of the solar system. The dwarf planet candidate 2017 OF201 travels in a superwide orbit, with the sun relatively near one end of its ...
