Popis: 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 as the power supply of a multimillion dollar satellite.
