NASA has decided to fix the torn solar sheets at the International Space Station. The damage has cut power to the space station by 3%. An astronaut will be sent to fix the solar arrays by this Friday or Saturday. For now the station has sufficient power from its other solar arrays to keep its members of the crew comfortable. These solar panels open up into wing like projections from the station, provides 20 kilowatts of power which is approximately equal to the amount used by four or five homes on Earth.
