Global programs / Global project 936-5710 · 1977–1987 · energy · U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Lewis Research Center
In developing early stand-alone photovoltaic systems in the mid-to-late 1970's, the NASA Lewis Research Center designed, fabricated, and laboratory-tested two types of low-frequency switching type regulators. DEC abstract (PN-AAV-318)
The program was funded by the United States Agency for International Development.1 The stated purpose of the program is twofold.1 The photovoltaic system consists of a 1.8-kW (peak) solar cell array and 549 ampere-hours of battery storage.1

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
