The future of deep space travel could come down to tiny solar panels – Inverse
Researchers from Germany sent solar cells into low-Earth Orbit to see how well they might perform in longer, deep space missions.
For decades, scientists have aimed to create the perfect solar panel design
for the benefit of all of us here on Earth. Now, research suggests that these supercharged panels could also be a boon much further away from home.
In a new study, a team of German scientists strapped four different perovskite and organic solar cells to a rocket and shot it up into low-Earth orbit (LOE) to see how solar panels perform in non-terrestrial conditions. The flight only lasted seven-minutes but the research…
