Pico Satellite Solar Cell Testbed (PSSC Testbed)

The proposed PSSC Testbed flight experiment is designed to obtain space environmental degradation data for advanced solar cells. The purpose of the first flight (International Space Station orbit) is to develop and operationally test the picosatellite and associated ground station. Subsequent flights will be in a GEO transfer orbit, which will provide accelerated radiation degradation data for missions to geosynchronous orbit
