Abstract
An advanced electronic load circuit was developed to characterise the current–voltage curves of seven metal-wrap-through triple-junction solar cells and four conventional quadruple-junction solar cells produced by AZUR SPACE GmbH. This solar cell experiment was launched aboard the EIVE nanosatellite in June 2023 and has been operational since October 2023. The evaluation of over 5,000 individual curves highlights the need for precise compensation of temperature, sun angle error, and solar flux effects. The corrected data show excellent agreement with ground measurements obtained from solar simulator testing of the same cells.
期刊介绍：
Acta Astronautica is sponsored by the International Academy of Astronautics. Content is based on original contributions in all fields of basic, engineering, life and social space sciences and of space technology related to:
The peaceful scientific exploration of space,
Its exploitation for human welfare and progress,
Conception, design, development and operation of space-borne and Earth-based systems,
In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes selected proceedings of the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), transactions of the IAA and special issues on topics of current interest, such as microgravity, space station technology, geostationary orbits, and space economics. Other subject areas include satellite technology, space transportation and communications, space energy, power and propulsion, astrodynamics, extraterrestrial intelligence and Earth observations.
