P&E Group APS TC Participation in AIAA Sections, Committees & Activities TC participation/activities with AIAA sections: –No official joint activities with local AIAA sections, however, local AIAA sections have been contacted with regard to participation/involvement in IECEC conference Standards: Large number of TC members involved in AIAA Standards activities. Substantial & active involvement in the following Standards activities: –AIAA Standard - Qualification and Quality Requirements for Space Solar Cells (S-111) –AIAA Standard - Qualification and Quality Requirements for Space Solar Panels (S-112) –AIAA Standard - Electrical Power Systems for Unmanned Spacecraft (S-122) –APS TC members are part of an international committee trying to create an ISO standard on solar cells and panels. –APS TC members are involved with reviewing Aerospace Battery Qualification Standard TOR- 2007(8583)-1. –APS TC committee members are currently and actively involved in modifications to AIAA Standards (S & S headed by Henry Brandhorst, and S122 headed by Winnie Choy) Education: –APS TC puts together the Aerospace Power Systems course, held annually at the Space Power Workshop –APS TC has generated a draft Education Charter and is being reviewed by TC for release. Policy: One TC member emeritus (Doug Allen) is involved in this committee

P&E Group APS TC 2009/10 Significant Accomplishments The Aerospace Power Systems Technical Committee has been extremely busy and involved over the past year with various activities. The TC has successfully completed another transition of leadership as defined in the bi-laws. A sub-committee has been focusing on bringing up the number of papers in the IECEC as well as increasing attendance. The awards committee has completed the process for the 2010 present at IECEC. The TC provided substantial organizational and technical support for the IECEC this year. We plan to submit another end of the year highlights article as we did last year. We are investigating whether to produce another position paper on Nuclear Power in Space. The other major accomplishment by this TC has been its involvement in the development of various standards for the aerospace community. Significant work over the past years was put into the committee to establish and complete AIAA Standard S-122: Electrical Power Systems for Unmanned Spacecraft. Earlier involvement in the AIAA Standards S and S on Solar Cell and Array Qualification and Quality Requirements now has many APS TC members involved in meetings to discuss clarification and possible changes to these documents in response to comments from industry/Government.
