A complete characterization program has been performed on the two large area (7 x 6 cm) solar cell types which will be used on the Hughes HS 393 satellite solar arrays. Each cell type was subjected to series of tests which: 1) provided the data needed to accurately predict the solar array performance at end of life, and 2) demonstrated the mechanical integrity of the devices. Characterization data to be presented includes optical properties of the devices, cell current voltage characteristics as a function of temperature and angle of light incidence, and solar cell performance after electron irradiations. Mechanical data presented includes the results of cell strength tests, contact solderabilty tests, and coupon thermal cycling tests. The results of this testing indicate that the large area solar cells are mechanically equivalent and electrically superior to cells of conventional size previously characterized by Hughes Aircraft Company.
