💨 Abstract

Scientists propose a revolutionary change in lunar travel through the development of solar panels made from moon dust and perovskite. These new solar cells, when paired with 'moonglass', are less efficient but significantly lighter as only perovskite needs to be shipped from Earth. Each cell produces 100 times more energy per gram sent to space, reducing launch mass by 99.4% and transport costs by 99%.
