    "excerpt": "Blue Origin just unveiled its \"Power Tower,\" which is designed to provide solar electricity for an upcoming base on the moon. The space company, which was founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos , posted an animation of the tower on X on Sept. 25, showing the hardware landing on the moon and then deploying above the lunar surface. \"Our Power Tower is a 20-meter-tall, vertically deployed solar array system designed to provide more than 10 kilowatts of power for Moon Base operations at the lunar south pole,\" Blue Origin wrote in the post . The X post also links to a YouTube video , which shows a real deployment test that occurred here on Earth on July 22, 2026. From the low vantage point of the camera, you can see a pole extending up from the base, before arms branch out from the center to deploy solar arrays that fold down. \"Its modular architecture will support future surface networks, extending power beyond the lander to the assets that need it most,\" reads the Blue Origin post. The power tower appears to be an evolution of an earlier technology called Lunar Array Mast and Power System (LAMPS), which was developed by Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin subsidiary, and tested at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston in 2024. Honeybee Robotics is one of the companies that have been working under NASA's Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project , which has been developing solar...",
