APOLLO // Solar Station
Contest in collaboration with Davide Oriani for Hanergy thin-film solar panel contest 2015
Apollo is a solar station, it leaves the earth ground to reach the blue sky (Stratosphere) over the clouds where the sun is shining. When its power bank is 100% full of energy, Apollo is ready to come back home to give us all its solar energy fruits.
The idea born from simple questions that raises critical and real problems.
What if there were clouds over the common solar panels?
What if there were too ground solar panel that either put your thoughts down on the grass?

The black-box contains the power bank and all the navigation stumentation such as GPS, altitude sensors, wind pressure sensors etc. Thanks to a double impellers movement system, Apollo is able to return near the base where it lifted off to landing in.
