The solar arrays flight experiment consists of four experiments on two different flights. The first experiment, termed the baseline, has a basic purpose to demonstrate the flight readiness of lightweight solar array technology for solar electric propulsion and other payload power applications. The early availability of this experiment and its basic large space structure characteristics make it a logical candidate to demonstrate other disciplines critical to large space structures. These demonstrations form the basis for three other solar array experiments, two in remote sensing and one in control. All of these experiments are briefly reviewed in this paper.
