Halocell Energy, an Australia-based solar technology developer, has signed an MOU with Gilmour Space Technologies. The Queensland-based rocket company will collaborate with Halocell on a satellite power project. The agreement has outlined plans to launch Halocell’s perovskite photovoltaic modules aboard a microsatellite in 2026. Perovskite cells are considered lighter and more flexible than traditional solar panels which making them suitable for satellite applications. The launch would mark the first demonstration of Halocell’s modules in orbit, harnessing Australian innovation to support future space exploration.
