It's rocket science.

Simplest design would be a WWII Quonset hut frame oriented East-West, with a standing seam solar roof from the ground to over the summit, with the North side up on a thermal mass wall with North view windows.

That isn't rocket science. I should know, but go ask some other rocket scientist. Just because it is on a structure named satellite don't make it one.
