Summary:

This paper summarizes theoretical and experimental results obtained during the past four years on the solar thermionic system. These results provide a basis for estimating the future competitive position of the thermionic system versus solar cells in space power. The basic characteristics of the system are outlined and recent developments are reviewed. A comparison is made of the thermionic and solar cell as power sources
