The Size of the Solar System Overview • Become familiar with the scale of the planets vs. their distances. • Get an overview of the solar system. Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in the human mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy

Joseph Cavuoti‚ and I am the captain of the Winston Solar Car Team. The mission of the team was to build a solar powered car‚ and then race it at the Texas Motor Speedway in July‚ 2017. My Junior year was when I was unexpectedly given the position of Captain. I didn’t know how to lead a group of people‚ but knowing that all of them were my friends made me feel better. As a team we had to decide what the car would look like‚ how it moved‚ what solar panels to get‚ the list goes on. Each team member

Since the dawn of the space race‚ man continues to strive towards the heavens. A lot has changed in the past 60 years‚ which marked the beginning of spaceflight capabilities and operations. With each passing decade‚ we further our influence within the solar system. From rovers on nearby celestial bodies to probes reaching far past Pluto‚ we constantly seek to expand on where we can go and what we can do. This drive is propelled by mankind’s ingenuity‚ curiosity‚ and determination. However‚ more importantly

Abstract—Quaid e Azam Solar Park (QASP)‚ is the first and biggest solar project of its kind in Pakistan. The Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park is a 1‚000-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station in Bahawalpur‚Punjab‚ Pakistan. The first 100-megawatt (MW) went operational in May 2015. This paper presents a comparative study of the QASP with a fictitious distributed system established to fulfil the same requirements i.e. 100MW based on economic analysis as well as technical feasibility.

ANALYSIS OF SOLAR BOOSTED HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the solar boosted heat pump water heater technology. The tests made on direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps have shown that good COP can be attained while using working fluids that do not cause any harm to the environ ment. Modifications to the condenser in the heat pump can be made in order to improve and distribute evenly the heat transferred to the water. NOMENCLATURE HPWH – Heat Pump
