What energy resources will KEO utilize?
KEO does not have its own energy. It is a passive satellite which means that it does not contain any energy sources or active instrumentation on board. Once injected into the orbit, it is only subject to the laws of nature (ballistic forces, terrestrial attraction, lunar and planetary, pressure from solar radiation and breaking due to the Earth’s residual atmosphere), that will be responsible for its long journey of 50,000 years before it returns to its native soil.
