The NASA program for standardizing silicon solar cells

Abstract

The present work describes briefly the goals of the recently organized Standardized Space Power Systems Office and its program for developing low-cost, standard power system components for spacecraft. The first step is the development of standard specifications for solar cells and covers. These include: (1) physical dimensions, materials of construction, appearance and integrity of solar cell and coverglass; (2) electrical performance characteristics of solar cell and optical characteristics of coverglass; and (3) sampling, inspection, and electrical and environmental tests needed to demonstrate compliance with the above specifications.
