Solestial, Inc. ("Solestial"), lub tuam txhab hnub ci zog rau qhov chaw, hnub no tshaj tawm tias nws tau txais $ 849,954 rau Phase II Kev Tshawb Fawb Kev Lag Luam Me Me ("SBIR") daim ntawv cog lus los ntawm National Aeronautics thiab Space Administration ("NASA" ). Lub tswv yim yeej muaj npe hu ua, "Tom ntej no Silicon Based Solar Arrays rau Chaw Nres Tsheb thiab Lwm Qhov Chaw Ua Haujlwm Nyob Mus Ib Txhis," los ntawm heels ntawm $ 149,987 Phase I daim ntawv cog lus nyob rau lub Ib Hlis 2023. Cov ntawv cog lus yog los ntawm qhov kev sim tshiab, SBIR Ignite, cov nyiaj ntawd. Kev lag luam siv tau thev naus laus zis los ntawm US startups los txhawb kev tshawb fawb thiab kev tsim kho thiab txhawb kev loj hlob ntawm kev lag luam.
Daim ntawv cog lus 18- hli SBIR Phase II yuav muab nyiaj los txhawb kev txhim kho cov tiam tom ntej, 50-kilowatt ("kW") chav kawm hnub ci tis tis. Solestial's silicon hnub ci daim pam tshuab yuav tso cai rau cov arrays loj dua li puas tau tsim, thaum tseem tuav qis qis thiab kev sib tw ua haujlwm. Cov array yuav raug tsim los ntawm kev koom tes nrog Opterus Kev Tshawb Fawb & Kev Txhim Kho ("Opterus") uas yuav txhim kho tus nqi qis, kev xa tawm tshiab rau Solestial's ultrathin, hloov tau, silicon hnub ci pam.
"Lub chaw nres tsheb ntiag tug thiab lub hnub ci ntawm tag kis yuav xav tau lub zog loj heev, thiab tam sim no, tsis muaj cov cuab yeej siv hluav taws xob pheej yig thiab muaj peev xwm loj tuaj yeem ua raws li qhov kev thov no," said Stan Herasimenka, Solestial Co-Founder thiab CEO. "Peb cov pam hluav taws xob uas pheej yig thiab tsis tshua muaj hnub ci yuav pab kom kov yeej qhov loj me, tus nqi, thiab kev tsim cov kev txwv rau lub zog loj hauv lub dav hlau thiab cov txheej txheem saum npoo av. Peb zoo siab ua haujlwm nrog Opterus los ua qhov kev pom no muaj tseeb."
Solestial's daim ntawv cog lus-yeej lub tswv yim tsom mus rau kev sib koom ua ke nws cov ultrathin, tsis tshua muaj huab hwm coj, hluav taws xob-hardened hnub ci pam nrog Opterus 'patent tseem tos Retractable-Rollable Mast Array ("R-ROMA") advanced deployable solar array qauv. R-ROMA yog ib qho scalable tensioned hnub ci daim pam array nrog ob npaug z-folding panels deployed los ntawm ib lub xeev-of-the-art rollable composite boom. Kev koom tes ntawm Solestial thiab Opterus yuav yuav ob lub thev naus laus zis los kov yeej qhov loj, tus nqi, thiab kev txwv loj ntawm cov thev naus laus zis hnub ci uas twb muaj lawm. Thaum kawg, Solestial vam tias yuav ua tiav 50 kW nplai thiab 200 W / kg array-theem tshwj xeeb lub zog thaum tib lub sijhawm txo cov nqi thiab kev tsim cov peev txheej.
Solestial's Phase I SBIR Ignite daim ntawv cog lus ua rau nws muaj peev xwm tsim cov thev naus laus zis tseem ceeb uas yuav tsum tau ua los tsim cov qauv ua haujlwm ntawm silicon pam tshuab. Theem II khoom plig yuav pab nyiaj rau tag nrho-loj 50 kW hnub ci array tsim thiab qhov chaw sim ntawm tus qauv ntsuas.
"Peb zoo siab tau koom tes nrog Solestial ntawm qhov kev txhim kho thev naus laus zis thev naus laus zis no," said Erik Pranckh, Tus Thawj Coj ntawm Kev Txhim Kho Kev Lag Luam, ntawm Opterus. "Peb cov kev ua haujlwm siab ua haujlwm ua ke ua ke zoo kawg nkaus nrog cov pam hluav taws xob qis los ntawm Solestial. Ua ke, peb tuaj yeem txhim kho lub zog, pheej yig, tiam tom ntej hnub ci arrays xav tau los tsim lub zog hauv qhov chaw."
Qhov khoom plig Ignite yog qhov thib cuaj daim ntawv cog lus tau txais los ntawm Solestial. Txog niaj hnub no, lub tuam txhab tau txais ze li $ 4 lab hauv kev cog lus los ntawm NASA, National Science Foundation, thiab US Air Force.
