“…[20,21] Taking these novelties together, the technologies have the potential to become the next generation of space solar cells. [22,23] Previous tests of the novel materials range from laboratory tests that simulate space conditions, over near-space missions on stratospheric balloon flights to rocket flights to space. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] However, further tests that focus on their application in their designated role are necessary before these next-generation solar cells can make the step from experimental technologies to their integration as conventional space technologies.…”
