KULR Technology Group Inc said its new CubeSat Lithium-ion battery pack format will support the NASA space program and Artemis missions to the moon.
With an industry-leading position in safe battery design and testing, and as a major player in the current global electrification movement, KULR said it is one of few companies that has successfully achieved the stringent requirements and rigorous testing set forth by the JSC 20793 Revision D safety standard created by NASA crewed space missions.
This qualification allows for KULR’s products and solutions to be used for the Artemis missions as well as other forthcoming, critical voyages, according to the San Diego-based company.

KULR CEO Michael Mo said the company’s long-standing partnership with NASA to ensure the safety of essential battery systems within the most challenging of environments and conditions has resulted in another breakthrough innovation for the space program and also for commercial EV market needs.
“As we look toward our future as a fully integrated energy management platform, we are proud to continue to provide our space-proven test solutions to NASA in support of their vision and reality of manned stations in Lunar orbit, on the moon itself and eventually on Mars,” Mo said in a statement.
NASA successfully launched its Artemis 1 rocket today, sending a next-generation capsule on a crewless voyage around the moon.
As a result of today’s mission success, KULR said it has established a deepened proof of concept, positioning itself to offer this battery format to customers across various commercial applications. KULR expects to begin accepting consumer orders in the first quarter of 2023.
