It defines terminology and establishes standard tests,

This standard is intended to be used to establish the minimum level of testing required to demonstrate that a solar cell type will ope

AIAA S-111A-2014 vii Introduction The purpose for this document is to provide a high level of confidence to the community that a solar cell type is qualified for space applications, and that it is ready for qualification under

24、AIAA-S-112A-2013 Qualification and Quality Requirements for Electrical Components on Space Solar Panels. Bypass diodes, interconnects, covers, and adhesive are not completely qualified by this Standard. Nonetheless, any failure of these components exposed by tests required by this Standard must be r

25、eported. In addition, the qualifier must investigate the component failure, determine its cause and take corrective action. The qualifier must also evaluate the component failure with respect to its effect on the cell qualification. The goal of this document is to standardize testing protocols withi

26、n the industry that uses, builds, and performs research on space solar cells. The tests included are perceptive to problems seen both in ground testing and on-orbit, and are the first step in including a “test like you fly” protocol in the space solar cell industry. As ground rules for inclusion in

27、this standard, tests had to have been previously documented; experimental tests were disallowed and test equipment had to be available in at least one facility. The order of test execution in this standard was set up to be as close to the sequence of solar cell and panel build, storage, integration

28、and flight as possible. AIAA S-111A-2014 1 1 Scope This document establishes qualification and quality requirements for crystalline silicon and gallium arsenide-based single and multiple junction solar cell types for space applications. This includes requirements for solar cell manufacturer quality

29、systems and for characterization of solar cells. Requirements for acceptance testing of lots are not defined in the current version of this document. Qualification is required when introducing a new solar cell design. Delta qualification is required when making modifications to the materials and pro

30、cesses used to manufacture a qualified cell. If the materials and process changes are limited, these may be considered and evaluated for the scope of a delta qualification. The delta qualification must be based on how the changes might affect the performance and reliability of the cell. The justific

31、ation for the delta qualification and a detailed description of the changes must be documented per section 11.5, Delta Qualification Report. A change to the lateral dimensions of a qualified cell type does not require delta qualification or re-qualification. 2 Tailoring Unless otherwise specified, t
