Big Red Satellite Team's CubeSat ready to deploy into space
UPDATE, APRIL 17, 1 P.M.: At 1:05 p.m. CDT on Thursday, April 18, the CubeSat satellite built by Nebraska's Big Red Satellite (BRS) Team will be deployed from the International Space Station. You can watch the livestream of the deployment by clicking on this YouTube link. The Nebraska satellite will test the performance in outer space of perovskite solar cells from The National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This is the first test in space of perovskite solar cell performance in comparison to the current standard Gallium Arsenide solar cells. Perovskites are early in development, but they have the potential to be lighter, cheaper, and more efficient, so NASA is very interested in their development and potential uses, particularly in light of the Artemis program.
