The medium Earth orbital altitudes are greatly underused due to the harsh radiation environment. In thinking of alternative ways to work in this environment, the shielding inherently designed in a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) could provide electrical power. Based on previous work showing the radiation tolerance of some luminescent materials, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using an LSC in light of radiation and temperature effects. The performance of such a system is compared with that of existing solar-cell-based electrical power generation. The end results show that an LSC system would be competitive in the space environment when 21.5% efficient system is achieved.
