Get solar cells back from orbit
- Solar Cell measurements
- IV curves, Isc, Voc, and Temperature measurements
- Other metrics calculated from IV curves: Vmp, Imp, Fill factor
- IV curves, Isc, Voc, and Temperature measurements
- Inspect and test cells after space exposure
- Increase TRL and obtaining flight heritage
- Exposure to the harsh LEO environment with attributes that are impossible to replicate terrestrially. e.g., Atomic Oxygen, Thermal Cycling, Radiation, etc.
