  • Abstract
    Cadmium sulfide thin film solar cells have been subjected to extended thermal cycling tests in vacuum to simulate the conditions of an earth orbiting satellite. When cycled under load, the solar cells exhibit a slow loss of output. Several possible causes of this loss are suggested.
