The preliminary plans for system-level thermal vacuum environmental testing of the protoflight photovoltaic power module in the NASA Lewis Space Power Facility (SPF) are presented. Details of the facility modifications to refurbish SPF, after 13 years of downtime, are briefly discussed. The results of an evaluation of the effectiveness of system-level environmental testing in screening out incipient part and workmanship defects and unique failure modes are discussed. Preliminary test objectives, hardware configuration, support equipment, and operations are presented.
