 note = {An electrostatic discharge test performed on a solar array panel is one of the important tests carried out before spacecraft launch to ensure spacecraft reliability in orbit. In this study, the effects of secondary arcs on the solar array, which can cause catastrophic accidents, are considered. The sustained-arc threshold of multijunction and silicon solar arrays was investigated to establish the design guidelines for ensuring the safety of satellite solar arrays. In this experimental study, the string voltage, string current, gap length, and solar-cell type were selected as test parameters. Gap lengths were 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, and 2.0 mm. For 0.5 and 0.8mmof gap length, a permanent sustained arc occurred under the condition of 1.5 A of string current for 50, 70, 90, and 110 V of string voltage. Furthermore, temporary sustained-arc duration exponentially increased with increasing string current. Temporary sustained-arc duration longer than 1 ms can serve as a practical alarm for the imminent permanent sustained-arc inception.},
