TL;DR: More than 5000 hours of successful 500 C operation of semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) with more than 100 transistors were described in this article. But, their results were limited to the first nine constituents of the Venus surface atmosphere at 9.4 MPa and 460 C in comparison to what is observed for Earth-atmosphere oven testing at 500 C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 6H-SiC JFET integrated circuits (ICs) operating over the broad temperature range of -125 °C to +600 °C are described.

TL;DR: The TacSat-4 spacecraft carried a solar cell experiment characterizing a string of 3 triple-junction 1-sun solar cells and 3 triple junction solar cells under a flexible, linear Fresnel lens providing approximately 6 times solar concentration as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, an oscillator, a ramp generator, and an inverter are configured to generate a waveform comprising a low time and a high time, and a voltage reference is performed during the low time, a measurement of a current and voltage of the solar cell is performed.

TL;DR: The Materials on the International Space Station Experiments (MISSE) provides low-cost material exposure experiments on the exterior of the ISS as discussed by the authors, where the original concept for a suitcase-like box bolted to the ISS to passively expose materials to space has grown to include increasingly complex in situ characterization.
