This paper briefly reviews papers presented in the conference The papers cover 9 topics including on-orbit investigation, models and computer simulation,solar arrays and discharge phenomena,solar array test,interaction with charging environment,electric propulsion,interaction with plasma, internal charging,and material characterizations.

The optimal control problem of the attitude of a spacecraft during the stretching process of its solar array is discussed in this paper.

The behavior of the satellites and their flexible solar arrays are imitated on the single axis gas bearing turntable (SAGBT) and flexible beam separately.

A solar panel substrate planeness non contact system is presented, which employs optical triangulation method and bases on virtual precise benchmark.

Dynamics simulation of deployment for solar panels with hinge clearance

The dynamics virtual prototype model of deployment of solar panels was built on ADAMS.

The mathematic model for combined spacecraft’s solar panel obscuration was proposed based on geometry method, combined spacecraft self-body and solar panel as obscuring objects were taken into account.

The bending of solar array composed of three orthotropic rectangular plate under the lateral forces;
