Abstract
Experimental results of a pilot production of 32 4-cm2 indium tin oxide (ITO)InP space solar cells are presented. The discussion includes analysis of the device performance of the best cells produced as well as the performance range of all production cells. The experience gained from the production is discussed, indicating other issues that may be encountered when large-scale productions are initiated. Available data on a 4-cm2 ITO/InP cell that was flown on the UoSAT-5 satellite is reported
