Next to the in-flight experiments, complementary lab stability assessment tests were performed. In this contribution, both the in-flight and lab experimental methodology and the corresponding technical aspects will be discussed in detail. Furthermore, attention will be paid to the issues of packaging and radiation. The importance of the OSCAR-balloon experiment is not only that it has demonstrated for the first time the use of organic-based solar cells in (aero)space conditions but also that it can be considered as the pioneering start of specific stability assessment methodologies for organic-based solar cells for (aero)space applications. | Notes: | Schreurs, D (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Inst Mat Res, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. dieter.schreurs@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | OSCAR; OPV; in-situ; organic solar cell; organic photovoltaic; solar cell; aerospace; space | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/26129 | ISSN: | 0884-2914 | e-ISSN: | 2044-5326 | DOI: | 10.1557/jmr.2018.156 | ISI #: | 000438739300002 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
