This image is a schematic overview of the MAPHEUS-8 sounding rocket flight. In the foreground on the left, the experimental setup, highlighted in gold, is part of the payload. Eight symmetrically arranged hatches contain each one organic (green) and one perovskite (brown) solar cell module. Neighboring hatches contain different cell types indicated in different colors. The background shows the suborbital parabolic flight trajectory with the apogee reaching into altitudes common for low-earth orbit satellites. (Reb et al. / Joule)
