TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMESS atellite Power SystemsSolar energy used in spaceBR-202 May 2003 TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMESINTRODUCTIONThe success of a space mission is always linked to theperformance of technology. To have a technology ready when asatellite flies, research and development must start years inadvance. This is the objective of the Technology Programmes ofthe European Space Agency: to ensure effective preparation forEuropean space cells are a good example of space technology. Thisbrochure gives you many examples of how they work on aspacecraft, and what challenges they must hope it will let you share the enthusiasm of the engineers whowrote the stories. Above all, I hope it will help you to appreciatethe efforts of all those European engineers who work behind thescenes on space projects, not only in the area of solar cells, butalso in many other fields. Without their hard work, Europe ssuccess in space would not have been E.
Why are solar arrays so large? Despite the strength of the Sun, the solar arrays needed by an average-sized satellite are quite large, due to the rather low
