Description

The image is a diagram of a spacecraft, specifically a sun-facing heliophysics observatory. The spacecraft is designed to study the sun and its effects on the solar system. The diagram shows the various components of the spacecraft, including the sun-facing side, the side facing the Earth, and the side facing the other planets. The sun-facing side of the spacecraft is equipped with a solar concentrator, which is used to focus sunlight onto a solar cell. The solar cell powers the spacecraft's instruments and systems. The side facing the Earth is equipped with a camera, which is used to capture images of the Earth. The side facing the other planets is equipped with a telescope, which is used to observe the planets and their moons. The spacecraft is also equipped with a set of wheels, which are used for maneuvering and landing on the planets. The wheels are located on the bottom of the spacecraft, and they are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space travel. Overall, the image provides a detailed view of the components and functions of a sun-facing heliophysics observatory, showcasing its capabilities and potential for scientific discovery.
