☆ Photos show European satellite tumbling to its fiery doom after a first-of-a-kind maneuver that prevented a lot of space trash and falling debris on Earth

ESA said the maneuver reduced the risk of dangerous space debris impact and space junk collision. ESA took Aeolus's end as an opportunity to try a first-of-a-kind reentry maneuver called an "assisted reentry," ESA said in a statement Tuesday. Map showing Aeolus satellite's location as it inched closer to Earth where it ultimately burned up over Antarctica. This means there's more risk of satellites crashing into one another, and that space debris flying to inhabited places on Earth. Aeolus's assisted reentry was part of that mission to make satellite reentry safer.

☆ Perovskite Solar Cells Push Bounds of Efficiency. Tapping Their Potential Will Be Challenging.
  + stars: | 2023-05-31 | by ( Dieter Holger | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +6 min
Higher efficiency, measured by how many of the Sun’s photons are turned into watts, lowers the cost of generating solar energy. The factory is small, with a 100-megawatt yearly capacity, but can be expanded and Oxford PV has ambitions to increase production in 2024. Perovskite solar panels may reach commercialization this decade thanks to an expansion of solar investment spurred by government aid from the U.S. and Europe, solar analysts say. China dominates more than 80% of the world’s manufacturing of solar panels, according to the International Energy Agency. “The conversation about degradation is an old one, dating to the early days of perovskite solar technology,” Case said.

☆ This startup wants the agriculture sector to use satellites to tackle the food security crisis. Here's the 12-slide pitch deck Constellr used to raise a $10 million seed round.

German startup Constellr has raised $10 million to build microsatellites for the agriculture sector. Check out the 12-slide pitch deck it used to raise its seed round below. German space startup Constellr has secured $10 million in seed funding to ramp up its efforts to build microsatellites that can monitor water for the agriculture industry. The startup said its satellites differ from existing satellites by going beyond visual imaging, allowing farmers to make more precise interventions with their crops.

☆ Germany's Solar Valley could shine again as Europe strives to close energy gap

It is also reacting to a new U.S. law that has raised concern the remains of Germany's formerly-dominant solar industry could relocate to the United States. China's production is also around 10%-20% cheaper that in Europe, separate data from European Solar Manufacturing Council ESMC shows. Dries Acke, the Policy Director at industry body SolarPower Europe, said the body had written to the European Commission urging action. Berlin-based residential solar energy supplier Zolar said orders have risen by 500% year-on-year since the Ukraine war began in February, but clients might have to wait for six-to-nine months to get a solar system installed. "The signs for the solar industry in Germany are much, much better now," he said.
