This toaster-sized hyperspectral imaging spacecraft will generate 150W, an amount of power typically seen on larger spacecraft at higher costs · GlobeNewswire Inc.
THORNTON, Colo., Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (“Ascent” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ASTI), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacturing of featherweight, flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, today announced that its previously delivered solar blankets have been successfully integrated into NOVI’s Pathfinder spacecraft, scheduled to fly on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter launch no earlier than March 29th.
NOVI's spring mission will demonstrate GENIE™ (Geospatial Ecosystem for Near Real-Time Information at the Edge), the company's flagship open-access, multi-sensor, edge-compute platform designed to provide low-cost, low-latency Earth observation data and real-time geospatial intelligence.
Integration of Ascent’s flexible CIGS array allows for a tightly rolled configuration that minimizes the stowed volume. Pathfinder, the toaster-sized hyperspectral imaging spacecraft (pictured below) will generate 150W, an amount of power typically seen on larger spacecraft at higher costs. NOVI is poised to recognize compounded savings across its planned constellation by partnership with Ascent.
“Our partnership with NOVI has evolved quickly over the last year. In large part due to our rapid manufacturing capabilities in a domestic facility, enabling Ascent to quickly supply product to customers looking for immediate solutions,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through this partnership with NOVI, we’re achieving lower costs on faster timelines, driving major reductions in mass and volume compared to traditional silicon solar arrays. Our solutions are also more durable and sustainable, which reduces space debris risks while improving efficiency for spacecraft operators.”

Ascent Solar Technologies CEO Shares Why Light-Weight And Flexible Solar Solutions Are Exactly What Space Needs
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
DETROIT, MICHIGAN - February 11, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI), was recently a guest on Benzinga All Access.
Warley discussed Ascent Solar's expansion in the solar space market. The company makes featherweight, flexible and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic solutions.
"What's exciting about our product is we're lighter weight than everybody, we are very flexible, you can roll it up and unroll," Warley told Benzinga during the interview. "If you want to move a satellite, you move the satellite easier or if you know there is going to be certain space debris coming, you can roll it up to protect the solar. Also, we're much lighter, so it costs less to put it into space."
As for what Warley thinks sets Ascent Solar apart from its competitors, he pointed to the company's manufacturing readiness, noting Ascent Solar has been making solar solutions for more than 15 years and can make solar arrays that fit whatever the customer needs.

$ASTI News: Ascent Solar Technologies Spurs Development of CIGS PV Modules Capable of Generating Multiple Times More Power for Space Beaming
THORNTON, Colo., Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies (“Ascent” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ASTI), today announced its plans to continue development of distributed power receiving products in 2026 to account for growing demand for space-based energy beaming technologies.
These development efforts include both internally funded research and development as well as continued Collaborative Agreement Notice program work with the NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center and Glenn Research Center, which is on schedule to successfully conclude this spring. The Company plans to present the results of these development programs at select space industry conferences to be announced later this year.
These solar module technology advancements are uniquely enabled by Ascent’s in-house manufacturing capabilities at its 5-MW production facility in Thornton, Colorado. The facility allows for the company’s commercial-off-the-shelf CIGS PV products to be further optimized in order to be able to receive both sunlight in addition to more distributed power from a number of transmission sources and providers such as Star Catcher Industries.
The Company further plans for continued technology progression through partnerships like that with Cislunar Industries that stand to effectively enable spacecraft to generate and utilize multiple times more power with a solar array of any given size.
“Through the increased efficiency in power beaming capabilities that Ascent’s product developments will achieve, our thin-film solar offerings will better enable profitable operations for space industry providers in emerging markets that require substantial amounts of on orbit power, like space data centers or in-space manufacturers,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Ascent has already built relationships and completed deliveries to multiple companies within these burgeoning industries. As these nascent market segments continue to grow, we expect to be a major technology solutions provider in the space.”
