Silicon is the primary element used to produce solar panels. Silicon is a highly efficient conductor of electricity, making it an ideal material for capturing and converting sunlight into electricity.

Free-space optical communication is the technology that uses lasers to communicate with orbiting satellites. This technology provides high-speed and secure data transmission by using infrared light beams to transmit data through the vacuum of space. It is widely used for satellite-to-satellite communication and for communication between ground stations and satellites.

A bit is the smallest unit of data in computing. A bit can have one of two values, 0 or 1, and is used to store and process information in computers.

Dragon, developed by SpaceX, was the first privately developed spacecraft to visit the International Space Station. This achievement marked a major milestone in the privatization of space exploration and opened the door for increased commercial use of the ISS.

The Euclidean algorithm is the first computer algorithm that could solve mathematical problems using algorithms. This algorithm is still widely used today for solving problems related to greatest common divisors and solving linear Diophantine equations.
