PV has traditionally been used for electric power in space. Solar
panels on spacecraft are usually the sole source of power to run
the sensors, active heating and cooling, and communications.
Photovoltaics for Space: Key Issues, Missions and Alternative
Technologies provides an overview of the challenges to efficiently
produce solar power in near-Earth space and beyond: the materials
and device architectures that have been developed to surmount these
environmental and mission-specific barriers. The book is organized
in four sections consisting of detailed introductory and background
content as well as a collection of in-depth space environment,
materials processing, technology, and mission overviews by
international experts. This book will detail how to design and
optimize a space power system's performance for power-to-weight
ratio, effectiveness at end of operational life (EOL) compared to
beginning of operational life (BOL), and specific mission
objectives and goals. This book outlines the knowledge required for
practitioners and advanced students interested in learning about
the background, materials, devices, environmental challenges,
missions, and future for photovoltaics for space exploration.
