Innovative systems generate durable electrical power in spacecraft, indicating high potential for future space missions.
The expanding reliance on spacecraft for terrestrial telecommunications, high-resolution Earth observation, and deep-space exploration has significantly increased the demand for innovative electrical power generation systems for deployment in space. These systems must be robust with high specific power (W p g −1 ), stowed power density (W p m −3 ), and output durability at a low cost. Photovoltaic technologies are excellent candidates for harvesting energy in this harsh environment.
