While problems persist here on Planet Earth, a company out of Campbell, Calif. is hailing new developments, primarily a call its answered from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KULR), a leading developer of space-qualified electronics cooling systems and proven solutions for preventing dangerous battery fires and explosions, announced that its innovative carbon fiber thermal management solutions will be used on the upcoming NASA-JPL 2020 Mars mission as part of the Mars Rover.
It may no longer be the era of Mercury or Apollo, but KULR will provide for the Mars mission, crucial thermal management for vital components in the Rover as part of the SHERLOC (Scanning Habitable Environment with Raman & Luminescence for Organics & Chemicals) equipment. The KULR solution includes custom-designed phase change heat sinks designed to absorb and mitigate rapid temperature changes, keeping sensitive components such as lasers and sensors within desired temperature ranges to avoid signal distortion or other complications.
The Rover and its mission were featured on the CBS’ “60 Minutes” last weekend.
KULR Chief Technical Officer Timothy Knowles declared, “Detecting life on Mars has profound implications that can change how humanity perceives its place in the universe.”
“Leveraging discoveries from past Mars missions, the 2020 Perseverance incorporates the most advanced engineering design to improve entry, descent, landing, camera, and sensor capability. The same is true for thermal design. Perseverance represents the apex of aerospace engineering and KULR is happy to be part of its history.”
Volume on this typically thinly-traded stock is starting to wake up on Thursday morning. The price rocketed (pardon the expression) six cents, or 6.5%, to 99 cents at last check.
