Icarus Robotics selected KULR Technology Group Inc. to supply battery systems for the JOY autonomous free-flying robot. The robot is scheduled for an International Space Station (ISS) mission in early 2027. KULR will provide its KULR ONE Space (K1S) battery systems to power the robot's navigation and operations.
The K1S battery systems meet NASA's safety standards. They boast a flight history, including the Artemis II lunar mission. Icarus Robotics based its selection on KULR's proven effectiveness and flight heritage in space, which is critical for ISS missions.
The JOY robot assists with routine tasks and maintenance, freeing up astronauts' time for research. This collaboration highlights KULR's expanding role in the commercial space industry. KULR provides essential power systems for autonomous robotics in demanding orbital environments.
