Because of a winter storm warning and weather emergency in the Sandusky, Ohio area, the media event scheduled at Plum Brook Station on March 12 at 3:30 p.m. is canceled.
Reporters will have the opportunity to view the solar array during a similar event at a later date to be determined.
The testing of the ATK array marks a major milestone toward development of a new solar electric power system that will generate the high power needed for extending human presence throughout the solar system.
