- Abstract
As a kind of power generation setup in the spacecraft, GaAs solar cells convert the solar energy into the electric power and satisfy the demand of power loads in the spacecraft. Ground irradiation experiment and in-orbit output power date were given in the article, which showed that the energetic particles could cause defects in the semiconductors and lower the electric performance. So special cell-structure design should be carried out for special space orbits in the satellite design. GaAs solar cells with higher efficiency, lower weight, and perfect anti-irradiation characteristics are desired to meet the demand of future space application.
