KULR Signs Service Agreement to Launch KULR ONE Space Battery
17 Diciembre 2024 - 7:15AM
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a leader in advanced energy management
platforms, proudly announces its plans to launch the KULR ONE Space
(K1S) battery via launch integrator Exolaunch on a SpaceX rideshare
mission scheduled for 2026. This mission represents a pivotal
milestone in KULR's ongoing commitment to developing safer and
higher-performing battery systems tailored for space applications
for a space battery market that is expected to grow from $3.9B to
$6.35B by 2030 per Virtue Market Research.
This pathfinder mission will integrate multiple configurations
of the KULR ONE Space (K1S) battery into a 6U SmallSat. A 6U
SmallSat is a lightweight satellite with a standardized structure
measuring approximately 10 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm, built using durable
materials like aluminum or carbon-fiber composites to endure the
extreme conditions of space. The K1S battery configurations have
been carefully selected to demonstrate cell and pack performance,
as well as electronic functionality in orbital environments. This
mission will also validate the flight capabilities of the K1S, the
first commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) lithium-ion battery series
engineered to fully comply with NASA’s JSC 20793 battery safety
standard.
Key highlights of the K1S rideshare mission include:
- Integration of top cells
from leading cell manufactures: The K1S variations will
feature state-of-the-art 18650 cells delivered by top-tier original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including LG, Samsung, Amprius, and
MOLICEL.
- Utilization of cells
strategically selected by NASA: One of the K1S systems
incorporated into the mission will be constructed with MOLICEL
18650-M35A cells with associated NASA Initial Lot Assessment (ILA),
Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT), and WI-37A Cell Screening, previously
referred to by KULR as the “Golden Lot”.
- Incorporation of next
generation low-temperature cell technology: If feasible, a
version of the K1S architecture will include ultra-low-temperature
performing cells capable of operating at -60°C without integrated
heaters, further demonstrating KULR's innovative advancements.
- Advanced battery management
system: The mission will also showcase KULR's newly
developed battery management system (BMS) architecture, which
provides a COTS solution designed to meet the stringent safety
requirements of the 20793 standards.
- Gaining flight heritage for
commercialized variations of safe battery architectures:
The K1S batteries are engineered with passive propagation
resistance and flame-arresting technology, delivering safer and
higher-performing systems at a fraction of the cost compared to
traditional 20793-compliant batteries. This rideshare mission will
provide additional flight heritage to the architectures developed
by the KULR team.
Dr. William Walker, KULR Chief Technology Officer, and Peter
Hughes, KULR Vice President of Engineering, jointly stated, “the
upcoming mission will serve as a platform to showcase the
exceptional capabilities of KULR's cutting-edge battery solutions,
reinforcing the Company’s position as a leader in advanced energy
technologies for space and aerospace applications. The mission
aligns with KULR’s ongoing efforts to revolutionize the space
industry by offering reliable and high-performance energy solutions
that meet the most stringent safety standards, all while reducing
costs for customers.”
“We are excited to bring our KULR ONE Space batteries to orbit
on this rideshare mission,” said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology
Group. “This mission underscores our commitment to providing safer,
more efficient, and cost-effective battery solutions for the most
demanding environments. With the integration of next-generation
cells and our advanced BMS architecture, we are setting a new
standard for COTS battery technology in space.”
