Description: Two solar array designs developed for the Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Array program are described. The goal of the program is to develop solar arrays with higher mass specific power and power density and good robustness. The specific design requirements are: a beginning-of-life value of 130 W/kg, and end-of-life goals of 105 W/kg and 110 W/sq m. The two array-wing designs consisted of a single blanket. The differences in the blanket material (25 micron-thick Kapton versus 50 micron-thick carbon-loaded Kapton), solar cells (100 micron-thick wrap around versus 50 micron-thick 2 x 4 cm planar contact cells), and performance objectives (proposed industry requirements versus mission objectives) of the two designs are examined.
