To evaluate the reliability of space solar cells from Accelerated Life Tests (ALT) in laboratory have important difficulties due the presence in space of stressors that are not present in terrestrial environment and that must be emulated simultaneously in laboratory. To overcome these difficulties in this paper we propose a sequential ALT for space solar cells.
