The design must have evolved and a best technique been chosen for this deployment in the last two years. Can you find some more recent, finalized information that addresses my question more directly? Thanks! | |

I'm asking about the one being sent to space on Dragon. It says "...*to determine whether certain solar cells can withstand multiple cycles*." and "The Glenn team wants to know which cells will crack or be damaged by the operation." and "The test array is also equipped with three different wiring options: open wire, ribbon wire and a combination of the two." and "... we want to know the best way to bypass the failed cell..." | |
