Description
A theoretical investigation of possibilities for an electric power station, appropriate for installation and use on the moon, late in the 20th century, leads to a tentative decision in favor of a solar driven Rankine cycle turboelectric system. Such a station would be located at one of the lunar poles, to take advantage of continuous sunlight for the collector, and continuous shade for the radiator, in close proximity. Gross thermodynamic characteristics of the system are investigated in a preliminary way.
