The company hosted representatives from six organizations for tours at its Thornton facility, highlighting its U.S.-based manufacturing processes and customization capabilities for space applications. Discussions with industry leaders focused on requests for proposals, joint manufacturing ventures, and feasibility testing aimed at expanding partnerships across commercial, civil, and defense sectors. Ascent’s 5MW production facility is positioned to fulfill orders exceeding 100kW by summer 2025, reflecting growing demand in the space sector. Market feedback from the event emphasized the strength and resiliency of Ascent's solar technology, particularly for emerging markets such as in-space manufacturing, distributed space power grids, and Lunar surface operations. The company aims to leverage these engagements to maintain its leadership in the low Earth orbit environment.
