THORNTON, Colo. - TelAve -- $ASTI is Positioned to Serve the $1 Trillion Global Space Economy Projected by 2040.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NAS DAQ: ASTI) is backed by 40 years of R&D, 15 years of manufacturing experience, numerous awards, and a comprehensive IP and patent portfolio. ASTI is a leading provider of innovative, high-performance, flexible thin-film solar panels for use in environments where mass, performance, reliability and resilience matter. ASTI photovoltaic (PV) modules have been deployed on space missions, multiple airborne vehicles, agrivoltaic installations, in industrial/commercial construction as well as an extensive range of consumer goods, revolutionizing the use cases and environments for solar power. The ASTI research and development center and 5-MW nameplate production facility is strategically located in Thornton, Colorado.

Compare ASTI to Aerospace contemporary company AST SpaceMobile (Nas daq: ASTS) which is building the first cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio, and designed for both commercial and government applications. ASTS engineers and space scientists are on a mission to enable 4G and 5G space-based cellular broadband to every device, everywhere, for today's nearly 6 billion mobile subscribers globally.

Over the past 12 months ASTS stock has attracted major investment community interest and support literally rocketing its trading price to over $100 per share. With the growing commercial and political support for space project expansion today it is likely that other space oriented technology companies such as ASTI will also be drawing mounting investor attention. The upcoming Artemis II manned moon mission project, planned to fly in early Spring of 2026 could be a key catalyst in drawing accelerated attention to emerging players in the space technology industry.

Could ASTI soon be on the same trajectory as ASTS?

On February 5^th ASTI announced its plans to continue development of distributed power receiving products in 2026 to account for growing demand for space-based energy beaming technologies.

These ASTI development efforts include both internally funded research and development as well as continued Collaborative Agreement Notice program work with the NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center and Glenn Research Center, which is on schedule to successfully conclude this spring. ASTI plans to present the results of these development programs at select space industry conferences to be announced later this year.

These solar module technology advancements are uniquely enabled by ASTI in-house manufacturing capabilities at its 5-MW production facility in Thornton, Colorado. The facility allows for ASTI commercial-off-the-shelf CIGS PV products to be further optimized in order to be able to receive both sunlight in addition to more distributed power from a number of transmission sources and providers such as Star Catcher Industries.

ASTI further plans for continued technology progression through partnerships like that with Cislunar Industries that stand to effectively enable spacecraft to generate and utilize multiple times more power with a solar array of any given size.
