Book Description
On 2 September 1972, the Navy launched a navigational satellite of the Transit series. This satellite, which was called TRIAD during its development, has a radioisotope thermal generator (RTG) for its main power source; however, it has an auxiliary power source consisting of four experimental hardened solar panel segments. Another one of the experiments on board the spacecraft is a set of six solar cell modules designated the Environmental Survey Panel (ESP). This report will describe the pre-flight tests that were conducted on the solar power experiments, the results of those tests, and the flight data that are available.

Concept Definition Study for In-space Structural Characterization of a Lightweight Solar Array

Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A Concept Definition Study (CDS) was conducted to develop a proposed "Lightweight High-Voltage Stretched-Lens Concentrator Solar Array Experiment" under NASA's New Millennium Program Space Technology-6 (NMPST-6) activity. As part of a multi-organizational team, NASA Langley Research Center's role in this propose experiment was to lead Structural Characterization of the solar array during the flight experiment. In support of this role, NASA LaRC participated in the CDS to define an experiment for static, dynamic, and deployment characterization of the array. In this study, NASA LaRC traded state-of-the-art measurement approaches appropriate fix an in-space, STS-based flight experiment, provided initial analysis and testing of the lightweight solar array and lens elements, performed a lighting and photogrammetric simulation in conjunction with JSC, and produced an experiment concept definition to meet structural characterization requirements.
