Analysis of generated power of ETS-VII during solar activity maximum period

The generated power degradation of a satellite in a low earth orbit during high solar activity period has been compared with the power degradation of a satellite during low solar activity period. A degradation prediction method is developed for this study. As a result, the effect of a large solar flare on solar cell degradation is found to be negligible in a low earth orbit. This is because the effects of shield thickness and inclination are thought to be greater than that of degrees of solar activity.
