Ascent plans to continue increasing the conversion efficiencies of its products in order to deliver superior value to this potential customer and others. Ascent’s Space HDK line of products are built with Titan modules, the company’s standard modular building block producing over 2kW of power per kilogram on-orbit and will be available for 2024 customer deliveries. The enhanced modules for this customer will be modified to enable solar arrays to reliably generate more power for longer.
“Ascent already manufactures some of the lightest PV products on the market, all of which are an order of magnitude lighter than silicon alternatives, the primary competition for space solar,” said
The Company is focused on increasing production efficiencies beyond those already achieved in 2023. The Company seeks to expand production to meet this customer’s anticipated demand, including fabless production capabilities in a new Ascent state-of-the-art mega-factory, as well as potentially collocating dedicated production lines with the customer to unlock additional program cost and schedule efficiencies.
