$ASTI The first phase of testing showed that ASTI 's technology held up a temperatures below -146°C (-231°F) and up to +190°C (+374 °F), and to only 4% of the sunlight generally received in earth's orbit. Even more impressive is that the technology held up to severe radiation.
Conventional solar sails use fragile crystalline solar cells that require additional structure for protect. ASTI 's patented lightweight, flexible and nearly indestructible technology can take advantage of a novel array of construction that provides a higher performance in a more economical fashion. In addition, ASTI 's technology will provide both propulsion as well as lightweight electrical power for the mission.
ASTI Selected By Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency -- Successful Test Of ASTI 'S Solar Tech -- Photon Propulsion Mission To Jupiter.
