  • Abstract
    We present the in-orbit performance of Boeing 702 solar arrays built with ultra-triple junction (UTJ) GaInP2/GaAs/Ge solar cells. Five of these solar arrays are presently in geosynchronous orbit. Comparison of telemetered and predicted power output shows consistent results throughout the spacecraft fleet with performance within 2% of prediction.
