    Test bed concentrator mirrors

    Author(s): Argoud, M. J.
    Abstract: The test bed concentrator (TBC) was des point focusing distributed receiver (PFDR) systems. The reflective surface of the concentrator was fabricated using mirror facet designs and techniques. The facets are made by bonding ...

    Solar concentrator panel and gore testing in the JPL 25-foot space simulator

    Author(s): Dennison, E. W.; Argoud, M. J.
    Abstract: The optical imaging characteristics of parabolic solar concentrator panels (or gores) have been measured using the optical beam of the JPL 25-foot space simulator. The simulator optical beam has been characterized, and the ...

    Rapid Test Bed Concentrator (TBC) alignment techniques

    Author(s): Argoud, M. J.
    Abstract: A new, labor and cost saving method was developed to eliminate the procedure of covering all (220) mirrors and uncovering then one-by-one in sequence to adjust each to the focal plane. This latest method being used to align ...
