Continuous sunlight is scarce on the Moon unless you know where to look.
The lunar poles contain “peaks of eternal light,” areas bathed in near-continuous sunlight. Power Tower mounts on Blue Moon MK1’s top deck and extends solar arrays to 26 meters total height to capture that energy and deliver sustained power for Moon Base operations.
Check out this video of Power Tower during a successful deployment in an analog lunar environment.
The infrastructure era of lunar exploration starts now.
