The System Power Analysis for Capability Evaluation (SPACE) computer model was originally developed in 1988 at NASA Glenn Research Center to model the International Space Station (ISS) electrical power system (EPS). Since then, SPACE development has continued with the rise of new NASA human spaceflight missions. Today, SPACE’s uniquely complex and robust solar array model is being leveraged to model the solar arrays on the Gateway Power & Propulsion Element (PPE) for NASA's Artemis Program. This presentation will discuss the model’s integrated features, including its solar cell current-voltage (IV) curve, degradation, temperature, and on-orbit shadowing components. The presentation will also discuss recent SPACE advancements to meet the needs of NASA's latest spaceflight missions.
