Last November, the mayor of Pittsburgh joined with seven other mayors in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky to make the case for a âMarshall Plan for Middle America.â
More specifically, Mayor Bill Peduto and his colleagues called for moving the Ohio Valley away from its dependence on fossil fuels and instead position it as a center for green energy. They touted a study from the University of Pittsburgh that said the region will probably lose 100,000 fossil fuel jobs as renewable energy gains greater market share â but that investing in green energy would create up to 410,000 jobs over the next decade.
NASA space station prime contractor
Boeing. The solar arrays are now undergoing flight package integration in preparation for launch on
SpaceX’s 22nd commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) next month.
Redwire designed, manufactured, and tested the six new solar arrays, equipped with upgraded solar cells from Boeing’s Spectrolab. The ROSA arrays were developed by Redwire subsidiary Deployable Space Systems (DSS) and were first successfully demonstrated on ISS in June 2017. Each array provides more than 20 kilowatts of power each and a combined 120 kilowatts to the ISS, representing a 20 to 30 percent improvement over previous systems.
Modular versions of ROSA are also being produced for NASA’s DART Mission,
