Space calibration of standard solar cells using high altitude sounding rockets

Four photovoltaic cells were space calibrated and successfully recovered from a NASA Aerobee rocket launched on Sept. 18, 1974, which reached a peak altitude of 251 km. The experiment was comprised of four 2 ohm-cm n/p cells, two of which are optically filtered with 0.6 to 0.9 micron bandpass filters. The short-circuit current agreed to within 4% of the laboratory calibration. The variation of cell output due to atmospheric attenuation between the altitude range 80 and 251 km was 0.4% for the unfiltered cells.
