Description
What provides energy to satellites? A common answer is the sun! Most satellites are equipped with solar panels that convert solar energy into electricity to power the intricate systems onboard. These panels can achieve about 34% efficiency versus the 15 to 20% from most commercial solar panels.

Description
There are a variety of satellites, each with a specific function and supporting a specific aspect of our daily life. It can be used to enhance navigation, GPS or internet communication; to monitor tides; or to forecast weather. In order to link with each function, a satellite carries instrumentation that needs to operate for many years since maintenance is not possible on a satellite. Instrumentation also needs to be protected from the outside atmosphere, all of which are possibly detrimental, as well as internal corrosive fluids and substances that are carried by the satellite for its other functions (such as hypergolic fuels that power its thrusters).
