Ascent Solar, CisLunar enter teaming agreement

Ascent Solar (ASTI) Technologies announced the signing of a teaming agreement with CisLunar Industries. The agreement aims to bring each of the Colorado-based companies’ technologies together to achieve mutually beneficial spaceflight goals that support their competitive positioning for current and future space missions with various U.S. space organizations including NASA, the Department of Defense, Space Force and other national security space stakeholders. Ascent’s thin-film PV technology, paired with CisLunar’s high-efficiency power conversion technology, will support durable, long-lasting power solutions intended to keep space vehicles functional longer, thus increasing the potential mission length for commercial, civil and defense space missions. This technological union comes at a crucial time when U.S. space organizations are actively seeking out shipment-ready, energy efficient power solutions to bolster mission length and efficiency in a timely fashion.
