Abstract :
Space solar arrays come in all different shapes and sizes, engineered to cope with environments ranging from the low intensity low temperature (LILT) of deep space missions, to the high intensity high temperature (HIHT) environments of near sun probes. This paper provides a guided tour of a range of solar arrays that the European Space Agency (ESA) has recently, or is currently developing, in collaboration with European industry.
