You may have seen the recent ad for Dodge Trucks touting the rugged features of the Dodge Ram, which is Motor Trend’s 2010 Truck of the Year. It’s a daring and explosively visual spot, perfectly matched by actor Sam Elliot’s gravelly voice over. If you like commercials that are done well, you’ll watch this one over and over – and when you do, you’ll see a Dodge Ram towing a Hybrid S10 Mobile Solar Power System through the Very Large Array, a massive system of 27 satellite dishes built to examine far away galaxies via capture and mapping of incoming radio waves. No doubt you’ve seen the VLA in countless movies about space and aliens. The appearance of the dishes, against the backdrop of the unforgiving desert, makes a high impact visual. Add a Dodge Ram and our mobile solar generator, and you’ve got a great shot.
