FLEXIBLE INTEGRATED SOLAR CELL ARRAY.
Abstract
The fourth quarter activity described in this report consists of dendritic cell calibrations at Table Mountain using a standard cell derived from balloon flight calibrations and measurements of cell characteristics over a range of temperature from 40 C to 70 C. Array wrapping procedures were developed for an 8-square-foot array segment. Boom deflection calibrations on the DeHavilland STEM device indicated a deflection of 1.96 in. when loaded with 1.45 lbs and an end force of 6.5 lbs. The SP-8A assembly was completed and the segment successfully passed temperature, shock, and vibration tests. The DeHavilland actuators were received and operated on the assembled mechanical model.
