    Description: Principles and design considerations of IR transparent solar arrays are discussed. Optimization of performance of flexible solar arrays was studied. Measured solar absorptance as low as alpha s = 0.59 was achieved which leads to a predicted BOL power density of 182.7 = W/square meters. Advanced array concepts, system level cascaded panels, and transparent rigid panels are proposed and expected benefits discussed.

    Description: The charging and discharging characteristics of various dielectric materials commonly used on spacecraft were tested. The experimental apparatus and the calculations used to analyze the data generated during the testing are described. The test technique, results, and analysis used are presented. Indium tin oxide coated Teflon, Kapton, and quartz do not charge significantly. CTL 15 white paint shows no large charge build up. Pinholes in Teflon and Kapton increase the leakage through the sample and reduce the energy released in an arc. Conductive grids in Teflon and Kapton reduce the arc energy by two orders of magnitude over untreated samples. Extreme low temperatures (-195 C) do not significantly increase the arc energy of the gridded sample.

    Description: Studies of the cost and performance of flexible arrays have shown that the most dramatic reductions in the $/Watt figure of merit are achieved by increasing performance. An examination of those properties that contribute to array performance indicated areas where radical changes in current design practice and philosophy would result in significant cost and performance impacts. To take advantage of the predicted cost reductions, modules were fabricated and tested that had ultra-thin superstrates as a load carrying member and large area dielectric wraparound (DWA), gridded back surface and copper contacted solar cells.

    Description: This report discusses the design, development, fabrication and testing of IR transparent solar array modules. Three modules, consisting of a baseline design using back surface reflector cells, and two modules using gridded back contact, IR transparent cells, were subjected to vacuum thermal balance testing to verify analytical predictions of lower operating emperature and increased efficiency. As a result of this test program, LMSC has verified that a significant degree of IR transparency can be designed into a flexible solar array. Test data correlates with both steady state and transient thermal analysis.
