Bar Gap Radiation Test.
Abstract
A test program was conducted investigating the effects of proton and ultraviolet radiation and thermal cycling on U.S. Navy satellite solar panels. Government-supplied test panels were placed in a vacuum chamber and exposed alternately to 200-keV protons to a fluence of 10 to the 15th power p/sq cm, to 270 hours of ultraviolet radiation at a one sun rate, and to 21 thermal cycles. The performance of the test panels in the form of I-V curves was measured in situ before the start of testing and periodically throughout the test. (Author)
