mPower Technology, Inc.

Traditional solar tech may be designed for cubes and flat surfaces, but at mPower we aren’t afraid of a curve. Our DragonSCALES cells are connected in both series and parallel so they can reach high voltages in relatively small areas and the size, shape, and layout of DragonSCALES can be customized to enable nearly complete coverage of any surface area – even curved surfaces! Take our work with Gravitics Inc. Their cylindrical space habitat designs will feature DragonSCALES wrapped on the exterior; this wouldn’t be possible with traditional panels!

In honor of #VeteransDay, the team at?mPower Technology would?like to take a moment to thank all those who have served in our armed forces. Their dedication and sacrifice have paved the way for the progress we see today in technology and innovation, including the advancements we are making in the space industry. We owe a great deal to the resilience, determination, and leadership of our veterans, and we are grateful for their contributions both at home and abroad. To all veterans, thank you for your service. #ThankYou #SpaceInnovation #mPowerTechnology #VeteransDay2024 #ThankYouForYourService

#ICYMI mPower Technology CEO Kevin Hell recently shared his perspective on the state of solar in space on N2K | T-Minus's podcast. "All of these missions require lots and lots of power, but they also require power at low cost and power that's highly resilient. The technology that's been used for the last couple of decades is extremely expensive [and] it's extremely supply constrained. What you really need is an approach that allows you to scale up to very significant volumes, which we do at mPower."

The world of solar power for space is quickly evolving, and we are proud to be a major contributor to this bright future! Last week we shared that mPower Technology's DragonSCALES have been selected by Airbus Netherlands B.V. to power over 200 spacecraft, a major milestone for the space industry. Read more about the news in the Albuquerque Business First story: https://lnkd.in/geNgJdFv As our CEO Kevin Hell explains, “I think this marks a shift towards automated high-volume solar production and shows confidence that a technology like DragonSCALES is ready for future space missions.” He adds, “We’ve been in orbit, we’ve been tested, we’ve been proven, and we’re also low cost. Nobody else is in the market with that. That’s a unique position for us.” #spacetechnology #solarpower #solar

Abundant, low cost power for the emerging space economy has arrived!?Under our landmark contract with Airbus Netherlands B.V., mPower will be delivering over 1.1 MW of DragonSCALES solar power modules for over 200 MDA AURORA? satellites, starting in 2025. ? ?"We’re at the forefront of a massive shift in the space industry where the focus has moved from simply chasing maximum efficiency to scaling production for cost-effectiveness,” said our CEO Kevin Hell. "This contract reflects our ability to deliver the right balance of performance, cost, and manufacturing readiness that the industry now demands." ? ?This collaboration reinforces mPower Technology's role as a key player in powering the future of space missions and particularly LEO satellite constellations. Stay tuned for more exciting developments! ? Read about the collaboration in today's article by Debra Werner from SpaceNews: https://lnkd.in/gVhnmwk4

Meet Kevin Hell, president and chief executive officer of mPower Technology! He is a seasoned high-tech CEO and entrepreneur with a wealth of experience growing technology companies. With over twenty years in executive leadership roles, Kevin has been at the forefront of driving innovation. The photo below reflects Kevin’s dynamic personality and personifies his passion for leadership. ? Kevin, why did you pick this particular photo? Wakesurfing is one of my passions and something I have done competitively. I have competed and won medals in several masters competitions. There is nothing better than surfing an endless wave with music and a captive audience. And, it’s also how I met my wife! ? What does this photo say about you?? The photo is of an aerial and represents my passion for the energy of getting airborne! ? How does that inform your work? Waves have many instructive lessons for startups and business in general. Like business, timing is everything. If you are too early, you waste energy. If you are too late, you are chasing the wave. But when the timing is just right, it’s almost effortless and the ride is amazing!
