Lightricity has participated in several Innovate UK projects to develop its component technology, integrated power supply sub-systems (in collaboration with Ilika) and autonomous IoT sensing platforms (in collaboration with Gas Sensing Solutions).
Lightricity advances Deployable Solar Power for Small Satellites
Lightricity has completed a £1.1 million UK Space Agency-funded project with AVS UK Ltd and the University of Leicester to develop a roll-out flexible solar blanket for small satellites.
The prototype combines ultra-thin multi-junction solar cells with a compact deployment mechanism, helping increase power density, extend mission life, and support more capable satellite payloads.
