NASA Glenn researcher Tim Peshek shows off a new type of ultrathin solar cell, known as a ‘perovskite’ because of its structure. These solar cells show promise for space applications because of their high efficiency and radiation tolerance and open the door to extremely low cost and large solar arrays for spacecraft or lunar surface habitats.

The NASA Systems Engineering Workshop is an annual event that brings together systems engineers and stakeholders from across the Agency to discuss, develop, and improve the state of the discipline as a community. The fundamental goals of the SE Workshop is to better engage and develop Systems Engineers to improve NASA mission success and improve the SE community and knowledge sharing within the discipline through focused and pertinent interactive learning. The Systems Engineering Workshop prides itself on being a "workshop". This means that attendees will be highly engaged and encouraged to share their own experiences and points of view with their colleagues throughout the event. The theme of this year's workshop hosted by Glenn Research Center on May 7-10, 2024 is "Eye on the Future" and is being held at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown in Ohio. It will feature presentations and panels of experts from across NASA and beyond! A couple of featured presentations include: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love ChatGPT" and "Is MBSE Right for Me?" For more information about the schedule, see the agenda tab.
