Gallium arsenide solar cells for space applications / by R.E. Thomas and C.E. Norman.: Co24-253/1983E-PDF

"This report presents the results of a survey of the present status and future developments in space solar cells from both a technological and market point of view. These results are then extended to propose a development scenario which would realize GaAs solar cells in time to be flown in a satellite by 1988. This would then put Canada in a position to capture a reasonable portion of the space cell market in the decade between 1988 and 1997, and would extend its ability to contract for larger percentages of the total satellite market"--Executive summary, page i.
