Insights
Ascent Solar and CisLunar signed a teaming agreement to combine thin‑film PV and power conversion for longer space missions.
The collaboration pairs Ascent Solar flexible thin‑film photovoltaic panels with CisLunar high‑efficiency power conversion to offer an integrated power subsystem. Together they present a packaged solution aimed at U.S. civil and defense space customers that need shipment‑ready, energy‑efficient systems to extend vehicle on‑orbit life. The business mechanism is straightforward: bundle complementary hardware and control software to compete for mission contracts where delivery speed and integration reduce customer procurement friction.
Execution depends on technical integration, qualification to customer standards, and procurement decisions by agencies named as targets. Risks include qualification testing, meeting environmental and electromagnetic requirements, and winning contract awards amid other bidders; no financials, procurement awards, or timelines were disclosed. Watch for announced prototype tests, formal NASA/DoD solicitations or contract awards, and any stated qualification milestones within the next
THORNTON, Colo., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (“Ascent”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacturing of featherweight, flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, today announced the signing of a teaming agreement with CisLunar Industries (“CisLunar”), a leader in developing advanced hardware and embedded control software for power conversion and conditioning.
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.
