When the USA space station goes into orbit in the 1990s it will have a sophisticated power system based on solar energy. NASA has evolved a hybrid design using both photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies. The choice of power distribution system is not finalized; a 20 kHz AC system is favourite today.
