Spacebound silicon

The article examines silicon for space power. As background, it notes that multijunction III-V photovoltaic cells such as gallium arsenide and indium gallium phosphide have powered satellites since the 1960s, but rare materials and complex processing keep such devices in small, high-cost batches.
