What is the energy source of the space station?

The energy source of the space station is lithium battery, which is efficient in generating electricity.

Main reason: Solar power generation in the universe is not suitable. Since the formation of the earth, living things have mainly survived on the heat and light provided by the sun. Since ancient times, humans have also known how to use sunlight to dry objects and preserve food. Solar power generation on the ground has become very popular. Solar panels are mainly used to convert solar energy. Converted into electrical energy. The reason is that the utilization rate of solar energy on the ground is not high.

Features of the space station:

It is relatively large in size, has a complex structure, has a long flight time in orbit, has multiple functions, and can carry out many and wide space scientific research projects. One of the characteristics of the space station is its economy.

Since all space stations do not have the function of returning to the ground, they accept astronauts in space for experiments, which can make the manned spacecraft a tool for transporting astronauts only, thus simplifying the structure of the space station and both Reducing the difficulty of engineering design can also reduce aerospace costs.
