Here are a few ideal applications for the Silent Falcon. In all cases, using an unmanned aircraft is safer and more economical than sending a person into the mission. www.silentfalconuas.com Applications: OIL & GAS PIPELINE MONITORING PRECISION AGRICULTURE CROP MONITORING MILITARY ISR MISSIONS/SECURITY/SURVEILLANCE DISASTER RELIEF MAPPING/SURVEYING NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT REAL ESTATE LAW ENFORCEMENT NEWS/MEDIA MINING/CONSTRUCTION FILM PRODUCTION Ascent Solar Technologies Announces Major Breakthrough in Solar Cell Performance for Space and Near-Space Environments ASTI recently announced a big breakthrough in the solar space, specifically in space and in near-space applications. In these applications, lightweight and high performance solar panels are very important. With that said, ASTI recently achieved a record 1,700 watts of power produced per kilogram of weight. As a result, future solar panels made for in space and near space applications can now weigh up to 60% less than conventional solar options for these applications! Ascent Solar Technologies (ASTI) Modules Selected by Vanguard for NASA SBIR Ascent Solar Technologies (Nasdaq: ASTI) announced that its flexible, lightweight PV modules were selected by VanguardSpace Technologies (Vanguard) for their NASA Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The NASA program is intended to develop an economical, lightweight alternative to existing and emerging high-cost solar arrays for high-power space applications. Vanguard will utilize proprietary space environment protection technology along with automated manufacturing approaches to create an ultra-thin, high power-to-weight ratio, large space solar array. These arrays will be enabled by Ascent’s flexible copper-indium-gallium-selenium (CIGS) technology; Ascent will leverage their experience with space-based solar products to provide space-optimized variants of their production PV. Flexible Solar - The Revolution Ascent Solar's manufacturing process is based around CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-selenide) depositited onto a polyimide (plastic) substrate. This process is what enables Ascent's solar panels to be so incredibly flexible and durable while remaining extremely efficient.
