KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) has received an initial purchase order from one of the world’s largest privately held space exploration companies for enhanced battery safety testing solutions, using the company’s KULR ONE Design Solutions (“K1-DS”) platform.
The proprietary K1-DS platform incorporates the most comprehensive design and testing methodology for battery safety that includes: Internal Short Circuit (ISC) technology, Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (FTRC), bomb calorimetry, and impingement zone mapping, performing a comprehensive cell level characterization of the thermal runaway behavior of the customer’s cells.
Though specific terms of the contract remain confidential, the customer has publicly forecasted a substantial ramp-up in its planned space missions as it continues to scale its satellite deployment throughout 2024. According to Spherical Insights & Consulting in a report released in May of 2023, the global space exploration market size is expected to grow at a 16.21% CAGR and reach USD 1,879 Billion by 2032.
K1-DS integrates KULR’s deep knowledge and experience in the most challenging environments, such as spaceflight with NASA, which requires what KULR considers the most stringent battery solutions platform globally. The Company is intensely focused on expanding customer engagements within the space exploration market with its K1-DS platform solution and expects further design wins to continue well into next year.
Earlier this month, KULR was awarded a critical contract for the accelerated development, testing, and production of a leading-edge space battery for a prominent, privately held hardware and in-space services company. That engagement is anticipated to grow into a multi-million-dollar partnership for expanded production in 2024.
KULR Technology Group Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) is a leading energy management platform company offering proven solutions that play a critical role in accelerating the electrification of the circular economy. Leveraging a foundation in developing, manufacturing, and licensing next-generation carbon fiber thermal management technologies for batteries and electronic systems, KULR has evolved its holistic suite of products and services to enable its customers across disciplines to operate with efficiency and sustainability in mind.
