Heliospace Corp. (OTC PINK:HLEO) has strengthened its Space Systems Engineering Team with three former JPL and NASA senior technical staff members. Brian Childs, former Chief Mechanical Engineer for Department of Defense Flight Programs and Mars Sample Return mission, brings expertise in mechanical and structural design. James Cooper, with 33 years of mechanical engineering experience, previously served as Lead Mechanical Engineer for Hubble Space Telescope servicing and NASA James Webb Space Telescope Sunshield Manager. Shaun Thomson, a 35-year NASA veteran, joins with extensive thermal engineering experience from various NASA missions, including his role as Thermal Subsystem Lead Engineer for JWST.
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), has successfully launched its hardware on the Blue Ghost Mission 1 (BGM1) lander. The company provided deployable mechanisms and sensors for the Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) experiment, led by Southwest Research Institute.
The hardware includes unique sensors that deploy up to 60 feet from the lander to measure low-frequency electric waves at the lunar surface, along with a compact deployable boom for magnetometer sensor deployment. The BGM1 mission, built by Firefly Aerospace, will land in the Mare Crisium basin, carrying 10 NASA science investigations as part of the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), has secured two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from NASA. The funding will support the development of two key technologies: a new mechanical release mechanism and a unique deployable boom, both designed for CubeSat and small spacecraft applications.
The initial Phase I awards cover a six-month development period, with potential for Phase II funding based on technical feasibility and commercialization potential. CEO Greg Delory emphasized that these developments mark an important step toward vertical integration while expanding customer capabilities.
The SBIR program, along with the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, operates under America's Seed Fund and is coordinated by the Small Business Administration, with participation from 11 federal agencies.
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), has announced the successful deployment of radar antennas on NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The company designed, assembled, tested, and delivered two types of antennas: two High Frequency (HF) antennas extending over 55 ft in length, and four Very High Frequency (VHF) antennas deploying to approximately 9 feet.
The radar antennas, featuring an extremely compact design, are positioned on the edges of the Europa Clipper spacecraft solar arrays. They are part of the REASON instrument (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), led by Dr. Donald Blankenship of the University of Texas, Austin. The instrument is designed to study Europa's icy crust from near-surface to ocean, aiming to reveal the moon's ice shell structure and potential water presence.
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC Pink:HLEO), has announced the successful launch of its deployable radar antennas aboard the NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft on Oct 14, 2024. The antennas, designed and delivered under contract with Caltech, are part of the REASON instrument for exploring Jupiter's moon Europa. The compact design features two large dipole antennas extending up to 17.6m in length, plus four smaller dipoles. The radar system will help characterize Europa's icy crust from surface to ocean, supporting NASA's mission to explore potential conditions for life on the moon.
Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO) has announced a name and symbol change, effective August 14, 2024. The company, formerly known as Helio Space, is now officially Helio with the new trading symbol HLEO.
According to the latest Form 1-SA, the company's leadership includes:
- Gregory T. Delory - CEO, President, and Director
- Joseph T. Pitman - CTO and Director
- Paul S. Turin - Chief Engineer and Director
