Beyond Reach Labs™ builds deployable solar arrays that deliver orders-of-magnitude more power per launch, bringing scalable energy to the places in space that need it most.
Three standard configurations scale from small spacecraft buses
to the power demands of orbital infrastructure.
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).
