Abstract

For almost 50 years, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) has developed solar cells to power satellites and spacecraft. Today, NLR is working to improve the durability, performance, and affordability of several photovoltaic (PV) materials for space and power beaming applications. The lab works closely with partners to ensure this research can be quickly and widely adopted.
