Scientists want to turn moon dust into solar panels
The case for having a permanent base on the moon as a staging point for space exploration has been made many times over the years. Actually constructing a real lunar facility presents numerous significant logistical challenges, not least of which is the genuinely astronomical cost of sending things into space.
Moon Dust to Power: The Solar Tech That Could Fuel Space’s Next Giant Leap
Scientists have created solar cells using simulated Moon dust, potentially solving one of space exploration's biggest challenges: how to generate reliable energy far from Earth. These new cells, made with perovskite and moonglass,

Aetherflux announced it raised $50 million in a Series-A funding round to develop solar satellites that deliver energy to ...
Chinese scientists say that solar panels in space could collect energy in one year equivalent to all of the oil on Earth ...
Turns out, it's as tough to drop inward into the inner solar system, as it is to head outward. The problem stems from losing momentum from a launch starting point on Earth. It can take missions ...
Solar flares are classified based on their strength and fall into five designated categories: A, B, C, M and X. An X-class solar flare is the most intense type of solar flare and can produce as ...
“As interest grows for power beaming and space-based solar power, our thin-film PV technology will stand out as a clear solution for that maximizing efficiency while mitigating the risks around ...
