The 2nd Forward Technology Solar Cell Experiment (FTSCE II) on board the International Space Station, measured I-V curves on advanced solar cells for 18 months. In this paper we discuss the data reduction methodology of in-flight measurements. Degradation rates, temperature coefficients for production III-V triple junction cells, inverted metamorphic prototype cells, and other experimental solar cells...
The success of the first Forward Technology Solar Cell Experiment (FTSCE) which flew as part of the 5th Materials on the International Space Station Experiments (MISSE-5) [1,2,3], led to a follow on experiment, FTSCE II. This experiment is currently operating on the International Space Station (ISS) as part of MISSE7. Solar cells are characterized with I-V curves. The test cells include current and...
The Materials on the International Space Station Experiments (MISSE) present a unique opportunity in space science by offering a low-cost platform to expose materials directly to the space environment on the International Space Station (ISS). MISSE experiments consist of a “suitcase” like package known as the “Passive Experiment Carrier” (PEC) that can be carried by astronauts and mounted externally...
