If there are enough of them, these solar panels can completely power the system, allowing an upward-facing BPT to operate without being tied into the ISS's power grid and keeping the approach ...

Scientists made solar cell panels from Moon dust to power future lunar cities more easily, safely, and cheaply.

After extensive leak checks, the trio was warmly greeted by the existing ISS team: Soyuz MS-26 crewmates Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, and NASA’s Donald Pettit, as well as the recently arrived SpaceX ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a creative solution to one of space exploration’s biggest hurdles—how to generate power on ...

This is the promise of an international team of researchers, who say that fabricating solar panels directly on the moon, rather than shipping them from Earth, would be significantly more efficient ...

Those are the findings of researchers who were able to create solar panels out of simulated Moon dust and suggest that it could be possible to do the same with the real thing. The work follows ...
