SPACE SOLAR CELL EFFICIENCIES ON THE RISE -- Spectrolab, Inc., of Sylmar, CA, has once again set a new world record by manufacturing satellite solar cells able to convert 29 percent of the sun’s rays into spacecraft power. This surpasses its most recent record of 27 percent, announced in April, for a space solar cell, and comes only seven months after a record-breaking achievement in terrestrial solar cells with 32.3 percent efficiency.
