SPACE POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
Beyond Reach Labs™ builds large-scale deployable solar arrays that deliver orders-of-magnitude more energy per launch. We're solving the fundamental power bottleneck that limits what's possible in space.
ORBITAL POWER

LUNAR ENERGY
Rovers carry deployable vertical solar towers to crater rims, capturing continuous sunlight at the south pole to power sustained lunar operations.
THE PROBLEM
Computing in orbit offers unique advantages: unlimited cooling potential, proximity to satellite constellations, and freedom from terrestrial constraints. But current power systems can't deliver the hundreds of kilowatts these facilities require within launch mass budgets.
The next wave of orbital habitats (research platforms, manufacturing facilities, tourism destinations) all face the same constraint. The ISS requires 75-90 kW just for baseline operations. Commercial stations need similar or greater capacity at a fraction of the cost.
Sustained lunar presence demands reliable, high-capacity power for life support, ISRU operations, and scientific equipment. The 14-day lunar night makes solar architecture critical.
Visual demonstration only. Not to scale or physically accurate.
The fundamental challenge: structural dynamics limit how large we can build.
As solar arrays get longer, their first bending mode frequency drops, making them susceptible to vibrations that interfere with spacecraft pointing and control. Traditional designs hit a wall: build stiffer (heavier) or build shorter (less power).
Our architecture breaks this tradeoff, enabling large-scale arrays with the structural performance needed for precision pointing.
OUR SOLUTION
Beyond Reach Labs™ is preparing to unveil our patented technologies and breakthrough research that will redefine what's possible in space power systems.
Our novel deployable architecture addresses the fundamental tradeoffs between size, mass, stiffness, and cost that have constrained solar arrays for decades.
