Space solar power - Space-based solar power (SSP) is the conversion of solar energy into power, usable either in space or on earth, from a location no closer to Earth than Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Locations for this conversion may be man-made satellites in geosynchronous and sun-synchronous (always facing the sun) orbit, ...
Intermittent power source - Intermittent power sources are sources of electric power generation that may be variable or intermittent, primarily sources of renewable energy such as wind and solar generated electricity. The variable nature of power generation from intermittent sources has raised concerns about the ability of electricity grids to absorb intermittent power and ...
SLOWPOKE reactor - The SLOWPOKE (acronym for Safe Low-Power Kritical Experiment) is a low-energy, pool-type nuclear research reactor designed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in the late 1960s. It is beryllium-reflected with a very low critical mass but provides neutron fluxes higher than available from a small particle accelerator or other radioactive sources.
Cosmic Origins Spectrograph - The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) is an instrument that is scheduled to be installed on the Hubble Space Telescope on August 7, 2008 during STS-125. It is designed for ultraviolet (115-300 nm) spectroscopy of point sources with a resolving power of ~2,000 or 20,000.
Power Rangers in Space - Power Rangers in Space (often abbreviated as PRiS or referred to as simply In Space) is a television show that aired in 1998 as the sixth season of the Power Rangers franchise. It was the first full series to be handled by showrunners Judd Lynn and Jonathan Tzachor.
