| Abstract | Emcore's latest generation InGaP/InGaAs/Ge ZTJ triple-junction space-grade high-efficiency solar cells have been in volume production since 2009, with over 300,000 flight cells produced to power more than 35 separate satellites. The ZTJ cells, CICs (Coverglass-Interconnected-Cell) and solar panels have also been characterized and qualified to both the AIAA-S-111 and AIAA-S-112 standards. More than 10 life-cycle coupon panels have been thermal cycled to temperature extremes representing varied orbital conditions such as GEO (geosynchronous), LEO (low-earth) and highly elliptical orbits. In its larger 1-cell-per-wafer form factor, the ZTJ solar cell has been used to manufacture solar panels for a dozen NASA and other commercial spacecraft. Currently Emcore Photovoltaics is under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to build and deliver the solar panels for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission and to ATK Space Systems for the Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) and the AMOS-6 commercial telecommunication satellite. In this paper, the results of the qualification, production and testing of the life-cycle coupons and the solar panels for these missions is presented. In addition, the initial on-orbit telemetry performance results of NASA's NuStar (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) spacecraft solar array will be presented. The NuStar spacecraft was launched in June of 2012 and built by Orbital Sciences Corporation It is powered by an ATK solar array populated with ZTJ solar cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
