Status of Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Array programThe current development status of ultralightweight flexible-blanket foldout solar arrays being designed and fabricated under the NASA Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Array (APSA) program is surveyed. The goal of APSA is the construction of a 25-kW array with specific power 300 W/kg (BOL) by the year 2000. Topics discussed here include array configurations, blanket deployment systems, prototype wing-hardware fabrication, component-level test results, solar-cell technologies, and array performance estimates. Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and tables of numerical data are provided.
