Attitude Determination in Space with Ambient Light Sensors using Machine Learning for Solar Cell Characterization

Abstract: Exploration of novel thin‐film solar cell technologies outreaches for their application in space. For extraterrestrial tests, irradiance conditions must be well determined to extract quantitative solar cell performances. Here, a new method for solar position determination is presented, based on parallelized ambient light sensor measurements is presented obtained from the sounding rocket experiment Organic and Hybrid Solar Cells In Space during the MAPHEUS‐8 mission. The solar position evolution is optimized us… Show more

“…For each segment, the irradiance maximum‐likelihood‐estimate that is most time‐synchronous with the half‐time sweep is selected for the latter calculation. [ 50 ] Here, we note that the solar irradiance values used from previous work are derived without the consideration of soot on the windows and, thus, are upper limits to the in‐reality received somewhat lower solar power. Consequently, PCE values are conservative estimates throughout this work.…”

“…Here, we use the irradiance values from our previous work, which do not account for soot and thus should be considered as upper limits to the effective received solar power. [50] Thus, the interpretation of the PCE In addition, the AM0 solar spectrum is shown in arbitrary scale in orange. [30,31] Note the dominant decrease of glass transmission in UV, where the glass appears clear in the photographs.…”
