Solar cells will dominate the spacecraft power generation field into the 1970's. Power requirements have increased from the few hundred milliwatts of Vanguard I to the one kilowatt of the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory. This paper discusses the state of the art in solar cells and their modules and mountings; discusses improvements needed, and estimates the future for these devices.
