Abstract
This paper presents results from the Photovoltaic Array space Power Pl us Diagnostics (PASP Plus) experiment flown on board the Advanced Phot ovoltaic and Electronics Experiments (APEX) satellite. Ten solar array s encompassing a wide range of solar cell material and manufacturing t echniques were operated at bias levels ranging from -75 V to -500 V. C omparisons in are rate between solar arrays are made as well as correl ations of are rate versus bias voltage, electron density, array temper ature, and ram/wake angle.
