===SCARLET concentrating solar array===
Primary power for the mission was produced by a new solar array technology, the Solar Concentrator Array with Refractive Linear Element Technology (SCARLET), which uses linear [[Fresnel lens]]es made of [[silicone]] to concentrate sunlight onto solar cells.<ref>{{cite conference |url=http://nmp-techval-reports.jpl.nasa.gov/DS1/Scarlet_Integrated_Report.pdf |title=The Scarlet Solar Array: Technology Validation and Flight Results |conference=Deep Space 1 Technology Validation Symposium. 8–9 February 2000.

The activity was sponsored by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, developed originally for the SSI - Conestoga 1620 payload, METEOR. The concentrating lens technology was combined with dual-junction solar cells, which had considerably better performance than the [[GaAs]] solar cells that were the state of the art at the time of the mission launch.

The SCARLET arrays generated 2.5 kilowatts at 1 AU, with less size and weight than conventional arrays.
