ASTI flexible CIGS PV design allows the delivered space solar array products to provide mission-enabling rollability within challenging mass and volumetric constraints. Qualification test and spaceflight operational data is expected to be made available to prospective customers as available as part of the ASTI Hardware Developer Kit program, aimed at making it easier for space mission managers and spacecraft engineers to unlock both mass savings and increased performance with Plug & Fly™ solar array hardware assemblies.

"This space systems partner approached us with tough mission requirements that needed to be met in less than four weeks," said Paul Warley, CEO of ASTI. "Thankfully, our technology's unique design allows for swift customization for situations like these. Opportunities like this will be instrumental as we continue to expand our presence in Europe's growing space market."

ASTI spaceflight-proven, high-TRL solar array products allow for rapid customization and short delivery timelines, thanks to its 5 MW production facility and refined manufacturing processes. This partnership enables the European space systems provider to leverage ASTI expertise, reducing both mission risk and cost.

New Order Received for Advanced Space PV Module Design Revision

On March 27^th ASTI announced an order to revise the design of its space solar products after being evaluated by a potential customer interested in technologies capable of receiving beamed power.  ASTI CIGS PV products have undergone performance testing by multiple third parties evaluating technologies for receiving beamed power. An initial beamed-power optimized module was designed, prototyped, and delivered to multiple third parties for testing and evaluation in less than one month's time.

Analysis of both the ASTI preliminary commercial off-the-shelf CIGS PV module and the beamed power optimized CIGS PV module prototype test data validated ASTI CIGS PV material's superior thermal properties and demonstrated a pathway to further increase performance and power output. This design iteration was the basis of the most recent order received for the enhanced prototype after additional testing. ASTI is now fine-tuning module design modifications.
