The PSSC Testbed flight experiment is designed to obtain accelerated space environment degradation data for advanced solar cells. The acceleration factor, with respect to total dose radiation for operational missions, will be obtained by flying the PSSC Testbed in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). The resulting data will provide DOD and commercial users of advanced solar cells insight into the actual performance of these solar cells before they are flown ...
The PSSC Testbed flight experiment is designed to obtain space environment degradation data for advanced solar cells. The purpose of this particular experiment is to develop and operationally test the picosatellite and associated ground station. This picosat could be the starting point for the development of a responsive space vehicle that would provide the capability of obtaining actual space environment exposure of new solar cell technology in a time frame ...
