- Summary
- The design, fabrication, and test of 12 preproduction silicon solar array modules which comply with the requirements of JPL Specification 5-342-1 Rev B are described. Cell performance and material process characteristics were determined by extensive tests and design modifications were made prior to preproduction fabrication. These tests included three cell submodules and two full size engineering modules. A major objective within the program was to gather module development and perform a cost analysis based on mass production quantities of this module. The analysis served the purpose of identifying material and labor intensive features of the module design. As a result of first fabricating two engineering modules, design and fabrication improvements were made which later resulted in more cost effective preproduction modules and in the identification of cost reduction areas for future mass production of modules. Features of a suggested baseline production module design evolved and estimated costs to produce 5 to 50 kW and 1 mW are presented.
