Solar Wind
In this view to the north, the Solar Wind Collector is at the upper
left. Because we are seeing the foil sheet edge-on, it is all but
invisible. Note that, when Al deployed the SWC early in EVA-1, he
seems to have titled the pole back toward the west by about 9 degrees,
which is very close to the elevation of the Sun. He may well have
tilted it on purpose to give maximum exposure.
