- Abstract
An analysis of solar array data from the Microelectronic and Photonic Testbed (MPTB) space experiment is presented. The data are analyzed using the displacement damage dose (Dd) methodology developed by the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) as implemented in the Solar Array Verification and Analysis Tool (SAVANT). SAVANT is a WindowsTM-based computer code that predicts the on-orbit performance of a solar cell in a specified Earth orbit. The predicted solar cell performance produced by the SAVANT code are compared with the measured on-orbit data. In addition, the calculated data are compared with onboard dosimeter measurements. The results allow both a validation of the SAVANT code and a comparison of the space environment models with measured on-orbit data. The results show the models to match the measured data within a factor of 2. Published in 2005 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
