Legal framework for commercial energy supply in space
Deep Space Energy is developing an innovative legal framework for commercial energy supply in space, without transferring ownership of RHS and RPS to the customer. Such a business model is favorable for international cooperation.
Radioisotope power supplies electricity where solar energy is not available:
- during the long eclipse periods at GEO and HEO orbits;
- during the lunar nights and in permanently shadowed regions;
- in deep space journeys to outer planets and beyond;
- and more.
Survive the two-week lunar night with reliable power
The Moon’s night lasts 14 Earth days. Temperatures plunge to -173 °C and solar panels stay dark, while bulky batteries run out long before dawn. That silence can end a mission.
A single Deep Space Energy module—just 22 kg—delivers 16.8 kWh over the full 336 hours, keeping avionics warm, instruments active and antennas linked to Earth. No extra batteries, no sunlight required—your lander stays alive until sunrise.
Keep Mars rovers moving through multi-year dust storms
Martian dust can blanket solar arrays for weeks, sometimes months, choking off power and freezing the rover’s joints and batteries. One planet-wide storm can undo years of work.
Our dust-proof dynamic converter keeps delivering steady watts no matter how thick the haze. With constant power, heaters stay on, wheels keep turning and sensors keep recording—through five Martian winters and beyond.
Power deep-space probes where sunlight is one percent
Beyond Jupiter the Sun is a distant pin-point—at 30 AU your panels make only one percent of their Earth-orbit output. Giant solar wings add mass and still can’t run high-bandwidth radios or cryogenic science gear.
Our generator packs 2.3 W e per kilogram, enough to power broad-band transmitters and instruments all the way to the Kuiper Belt. No sunlight needed, no oversized arrays—just steady watts for data, attitude control and deep-space science year after year.
Safeguard cislunar assets against blackouts and eclipse
Every 28 days Earth’s shadow sweeps across cislunar orbits, cutting sunlight for up to three hours. Batteries must carry cryogenic pumps, comm links and navigation beacons—or those critical services go dark.
Our hybrid pack pairs a compact RTALIG with solar arrays, kicking in the moment an eclipse begins. It rides out the full blackout with zero downtime, keeping propellant depots cold and nav beacons lit, all while slashing battery mass and recharge cycles.
Shield strategic satellites from laser-induced power loss
Hostile lasers can temporarily or permanently blind solar arrays, stripping a satellite of the watts that keep payloads, attitude control and encryption systems alive. A single strike at apogee is enough to cripple an entire constellation node.
An onboard nuclear module gives the craft its own independent power spine. Even if every panel is scorched, the generator keeps sensors, processors and secure links running, buying time for counter-measures and ensuring mission continuity when sunlight can’t.
Enable months-long sub-sea drone and sensor patrols
Underwater drones and seabed sensors usually live on borrowed time—once their batteries drain, someone must haul them up, swap packs and redeploy. That limits missions to days or weeks and drives up vessel costs.
Our sealed nuclear module slips into the pressure hull and delivers quiet, maintenance-free power for months at a stretch. Pipelines stay monitored, offshore buoys stay online and remote surveillance keeps streaming—without costly retrievals or refuels.
Extend reconnaissance and surveillance missions anywhere on earth
Forward ISR posts in deserts, jungles, or polar ice need steady watts for radars, cameras, and encrypted links. Batteries last only days, and fuel airdrops give away the site and cost a fortune.
A portable DSE module runs silent for years with no refueling. Slip it into a shelter or sensor mast and get round-the-clock power—no logistics trail, no signatures, just uninterrupted eyes and ears on the target.
Autonomous rovers in permanently shadowed lunar craters
The Moon’s polar craters never see sunlight. Temperatures plunge to -230 °C, and solar panels stay uselessly dark, freezing batteries and electronics within hours. That makes prospecting for water-ice in these regions almost impossible.
A compact Deep Space Energy module rides on the rover chassis, giving it nonstop heat and electricity. Instruments, drills and wheels stay warm and powered day after day, letting explorers map and sample ice deposits where no other energy source can survive.
Kick-start pioneer mining operations on the Moon
Early lunar mines must run drills, crushers, and ISRU reactors well before any surface grid or nuclear fission plant is in place. Solar arrays fail in polar shadows, and battery packs are too heavy to ship in bulk.
Stackable Deep Space Energy racks scale from a few hundred watts to kilowatts, supplying round-the-clock power and process heat. Crews can crack regolith, smelt metals, and make oxygen on day one—no waiting for large infrastructure, no downtime when the Sun sets.
Deep Space Energy — two hubs, one goal
Deep Space Energy is building on decades of expertise in developing electromagnetic devices, now dedicating them to space and scientific missions. We are on a mission to become a commercial supplier of radioisotope electricity for the needs of science deep space missions, surface missions on the Moon and Mars, the emerging commercial Lunar market, and to support the power resilience of strategic space assets, and power off-grid applications on the Earth.
Together, we combine Baltic and UK talents, leveraging a European supply chain for radioisotope fuel, machining, and power subsystems.
