Beyond Reach Labs, Inc. was founded by Mitchell Fogelson during his Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University. He and his collaborators developed the technology through a NASA NIAC grant seeking to solve the challenging problem of kilometer-scale space structures from a single rocket launch. Through this investigation, they invented the Pop-Up Extending Trusses (PETS)  and the Hierarchical High-Expansion Ratio Deployable Structures (HERDS), which form the basis of the company offerings today. We hope to use these tools and more to advance opportunities in space habitats, collapsable medical devices for defense, and deployable communication stations for disaster relief.
