called photons which could be converted to electricity.

Photo Voltaic cells first became essential during the 1950′s Space Race. The first
two Sputniks that went up, died in a little over a week because the transistors were
powered with flash light batteries. The U.S.’s solar powered satellites were an
instant success. Photo voltaic panels still power nearly all satellites and space (more…)
