Flight performance of the Magellan Solar Array

The Magellan Spacecraft Solar Array, designed to operate over vastly varying environmental conditions, has completed over five years of flight operations. Flight performance of the Solar Array has met and/or exceeded all design objectives. Though initially designed for 15 months of cruise plus 8 mon...

description The Magellan Spacecraft Solar Array, designed to operate over vastly varying environmental conditions, has completed over five years of flight operations. Flight performance of the Solar Array has met and/or exceeded all design objectives. Though initially designed for 15 months of cruise plus 8 months of planetary operations, the Solar Array continued to function 42 months past design life. This paper contains a brief description of the mission, a design description, and flight performance data.
