Surface buoy design

79.67 days

Tue 2/12/02

Mon 6/3/02

 

62

preliminary tower design - Mock-ups of vertical and tilted solar panel array styles complete and have been evaluated. Vertical array the preferred design from Observatory support perspective and does not require custom solar panels. Additional issues are the style and location of battery boxes and electronics enclosures.
