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.
