In the present case we have determined the radiation resistance of InP under proton irradiation. Specifically the performance of InP has been compared to that of GaAs and Si cells after irradiation by 10 MeV protons. Also, using the present results and previously published data on 1 MeV electron irradiation together with estimates of projected efficiencies, we compare the expected performance of these cells under both electron and proton irradiations. These results are then used to speculate on the potential advantage of using InP in the space radiation environment.
