recent evidence has indicated that kilovolt-energy protons are a probable cause for solar-cell array degradation in synchronous-orbit satellites. this damage can occur in the small areas of the cell that have been unprotected by the coverslip. this paper reports on solar-cell current degradation at fixed voltages in nominal 10 ohm cm silicon solar cells with coverslips which are irradiated by 150- and 270-kev protons.
