Next Generation Solar Panels Fly To Space

Australian-made flexible solar cells will orbit the Earth in a test to evaluate them as a reliable energy source for future space endeavours.

Doctor Anthony Chesman, CSIRO’s Renewable Energy Systems Group Leader explains the significance of these cells which are on board Australia’s largest private satellite, Optimus 1 which flew on board Space X’s Transporter 10 mission last week.

Australia’s national science agency is exploring the potential of printed flexible solar cells as a reliable energy source for future space endeavours, in collaboration with Australian space transportation provider, Space Machines Company.
