FEP-TEFLON encapsulated solar cell modules Further progress
Abstract
A progress report, starting with November 1973, is given in the design, development, and performance of lightweight flexible FET (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) encapsulated solar cell modules intended to form standardized building blocks for large roll-up or fold-up solar cell blankets with performances on the order of 100 W/sq m and 80 W/kg in near space. It is shown that interconnected FEP encapsulated modules of advanced design can withstand all typical ground handling, assembly, storage, and launch conditions, and are well suited for high-power space applications.
