The general chemical formula of metal halide perovskite is ABX 3 , where A is a monovalent cation (such as FA + [ formamidinium], MA + [methylammonium], or Cs + ), B is a divalent metal cation (such as Pb 2+ , Sn 2+ , or Ge 2+ ), and X is a monovalent halogen anion (such as I − , Br − , or Cl − ). [9] Photovoltaic devices based on perovskite absorbers have achieved a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.5% [10] in single-junction devices and obtained a PCE above 26.7% [11] in tandem devices, in which the best PCE is comparable to those of some commercially available products on the photovoltaic market, such as crystalline silicon (HIT, champion PCE of 26.7%), cadmium telluride (CdTe, champion PCE of 22.1%), gallium arsenide (GaAs, champion PCE of 27.8%), and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS, champion PCE of 23.4%) solar cells. In particular, only sub-micron-thick absorber is needed in perovskite solar cells because of perovskite's high optical absorption coefficient of about 10 4 cm −1 , [12] therefore high specific power is expected. Combined with the low-temperature solution processability and radiation resistance, [13] these features render PSCs as a Metal halide perovskites have aroused burgeoning interest in the field of photovoltaics owing to their versatile optoelectronic properties. The outstanding power conversion efficiency, high specific power (i.e., power to weight ratio), compatibility with flexible substrates, and excellent radiation resistance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) enable them to be a promising candidate for next-generation space photovoltaic technology. Nevertheless, compared with other practical space photovoltaics, such as silicon and III-V multi-junction compound solar cells, the research on PSCs for space applications is just in the infancy stage. Therefore, there are considerable interests in further strengthening relevant research from the perspective of both mechanism and technology. Consequently, the approaches used for and the consequences of PSCs for space applications are reviewed. This review provides an overview of recent progress in PSCs for space applications in terms of performance evolution and mechanism exploration of perovskite films and devices under space extreme environments.

This work investigates the radiation resistance of high‐performance multi‐component perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for the first time under extreme short‐pulse proton irradiation conditions. The devices are subjected to high‐intensity 170 keV pulsed (150 ns) proton irradiation, with a fluence of up to 1013 p cm−2, corresponding to ≈30 years of operation at low Earth orbit. A complex material characterization of the perovskite active layer and device physics analysis of the PSCs before and after short‐pulse proton irradiation is conducted. The obtained results indicate that the photovoltaic performance of the solar cells experiences a slight deterioration up to 20 % and 50 % following the low 2 × 1012 p cm−2 and high 1 × 1013 p cm−2 proton fluences, respectively, due to increased non‐radiative recombination losses. The findings reveal that multi‐component PSCs are immune even to extreme high‐intense short‐pulse proton irradiation, which exceeds harsh space conditions, including intense coronal ejection events usually associated with solar flares.

systems currently being developed. A satellite internet constellation is a network of satellites orbiting in low-Earth orbit (LEO) to provide a global, continuous, low-latency, high bandwidth (broadband) internet service. The largest constellation planned so far is the SpaceX Starlink network with 42 000 LEO satellites. [1] In addition there is Amazon's Project Kuiper with 3236 LEO satellites, and the UK government's OneWeb containing 48 000 satellites. [2,3] Satellites are designed to operate for 3 to 4 years with ≈90-min day/night cycle. These systems require solar arrays to power each of the satellites that makeup the system. For the 42 000 Starlink satellites, estimates for solar power generation using 18% efficient devices [4] will be 316 MW (very conservative) or 526 MW using 30% efficient devices (Table S1, Supporting Information). This is for the currently planned SpaceX Starlink market alone, it is anticipated that solar power market for global internet constellations will be twice this amount approaching gigawatt (GW) level. As the focus for many of these satellites will be optimization on cost, there is an appetite for low cost cells with high specific power. As of July 2021 there is currently 5 MW of solar power being generated via currently deployed Starlink satellites. Space Settlement and ColonizationSpace settlement and colonization is the continuing presence of humans in space, beyond human spaceflight or operating space outposts. Although hypothetical at present, the construction of a space colony should be considered, keeping in mind a wide range of technological and economic challenges and possible solutions and research opportunities. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Artemis program plans to permanently return humans to the Moon in 2024 and test the foundational technology for eventual human exploration of Mars [5] in the 2030's. In addition to government space programs the last 10 years has seen a major push from private individuals to accelerate the development of space technologies to allow for permanent colonization of space, the Moon, Mars, and beyond [6][7][8][9][10] . As the cost of launch has fallen by ≈23 times in the last decade [11] for sustainable commercialThe rapid progress in space exploration, mining, and tourism has been fuelled by both public and private sector investments. The latter has led to the need to reduce manufacturing and launch cost of space hardware to create a competitive and sustainable space economy. A major step in making space accessible is to develop affordable power systems for "commercial space" use. Photovoltaics has in the past and will in the future be a key component. Metal halide perovskite solar cells show the greatest potential of all emerging technologies for low-cost space photovoltaics. They have demonstrated the highest rate of power conversion efficiency improvement. Compared to the triple junction III-V compound semiconductor cells commonly used for space applications, perovskite cells have a higher power to weight ...
