ESA engineer Mei Mei Stienstra holds a tray of glass samples that have been exposed to simulated space conditions for more than a year. The test campaign assessed a new type of European-made adhesive to keep protective cover glass stuck in place on solar cells.
The testing - taking place at the Materials and Electrical Components Laboratories in ESA's technical centre ESTEC, based in Noordwijk, the Netherlands - involved long-duration space simulations lasting for upwards of 10 000 hours to guarantee the reliable operation of solar cells.
