STUDY OF A FLEXIBLE SOLAR ARRAY GENERATOR FOR A REMOTE SENSING SATELLITE Final Report Volume 1-Technical Report

摘要

This report describes the technical work performed under ESA contract No. 3536/78/F/CG/SC by BAe Dynamics Group at Bristol and Contrives of Switzerland.nThe Study investigated the feasibility of employing a roll-out solar array as the power source for a remote sensing satellite programme due for launch by Ariane in the early 1980s.nThe study concludes that such a solar array is feasible and that a design based upon the Space Telescope Solar Array meets all the requirements including development timescale.
