“…Because both Au and ITO contacts showed promising results in response to thermal vacuum stress, full cell stacks with each of these contacts were investigated via WAXS to assess the thermal stability of the triple cation crystallographic structure up to a temperature slightly above the predicted maximum operating temperature on the lunar surface. 10 Both cells had the same p−i−n structure shown in Figure 1A, fabricated on ITO-patterned glass. The temperature was ramped in a helium environment from room temperature to 75 °C, with a 1 h dwell at 75 °C.…”

“…NASA’s Glenn Research Center conducted thermal modeling to assess the operating conditions for solar cells on the lunar surface and determined that the temperature range of interest is −25 to 75 °C, assuming thermal management will prevent the cells from reaching the temperature extremes of the lunar surface environment. The assumptions include that the array is thermally isolated from its lander (G10, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate used for insulation, is added to ensure thermal isolation) and the solar array is always sun pointing throughout the transit . Furthermore, to achieve space compliance, PSCs must be designed to meet the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Standard S111 (AIAA-S111) outgassing standards (among others) and endure environmental stress (i.e., humidity), prior to launch…”
