Solar power sail that is being developed by JAXA as a planetary exploration spacecraft utilizes a combination of electric and photon propulsion system. The solar power sail requires a super lightweight flexible power generation system that uses thin film solar cells. We are developing a mounting method of the thin film solar cells on the membrane of the sail. Major issues of our study are shape control and connection between thin film solar array and thin film electrical wiring harnesses. We describe experimental results of shape control by oxide sputtering on the polyimide film and thin film solar cells and evaluation results of trial production of the thin film solar array connected with the thin film flexible wiring harnesses by heat sealing. |
