A description of three LIPS III flight experiments is presented. The experiments provide data on three concepts for radiation-resistant, survivable space power systems. The concepts are an in-orbit annealable silicon solar array, a concentrating GaAs solar array based on total internal reflection, and a lightweight radiation-resistant CuInSe2 polycrystalline-film solar array. The experiments are in a 600 nm circular orbit, and on-orbit data are being collected. Preliminary results from the on-orbit data are presented.
