• Technology developed through multiple projects with Glenn
• Stretched Lens Array optimized for Deep Space 1: performance, reliability, and efficiency
• Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) module called SolarVolt™ has met the CPV module testing, construction, and safety requirements
• U.S.-based jobs created as Entech Solar implements its SolarVolt manufacturing facility
“The Stretched Lens Array is a spectacularly enabling technology for electric propulsion in space.” – Tim Glover, Director of Development, Ad Astra Rocket Co.
Entech® Solar: Affordable Green Energy Technology

Developed by DNA Medicine Institute with funding from NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program
Glenn provides expertise in microgravity fluid physics, microfluidics, and numerical modeling
Glenn is facilitating FDA discussions for using the rHEALTH sensor as a biomedical research and/or diagnostic tool
Technology contributes significantly to space medicine, biomedical research, POC diagnostics, and environmental monitoring

• Award-winning PhotoVolt™ cell is based on innovations developed with Glenn
• Critical high-intensity flash testing was conducted at Glenn
• The company’s first commercial solar concentrator was sold to Glenn
• The Oberlin, OH company expects many new hires for production ramp-up
• Selected as an Ohio Third Frontier Photovoltaics Program awardee
“The support we’ve received from NASA has been instrumental to our success, and the facilities and expertise at Glenn were essential to solving numerous technical issues. The credibility that NASA has brought to our development has helped in our fundraising.”
– Neil Sater, CEO and Founder, GreenField Solar

NASA’s partnership with Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company produced tires that avoid puncture failure, lower fuel consumption in vehicles, and save energy
For both lunar/planetary exploration and Earth-based applications, the tire offers greater safety because it has no single point of failure
Tested in Glenn’s Simulated Lunar Operations (SLOPE) facility
Winner of the 2010 R&D 100 Award, and Patent and Tech Brief Awards
Spring Tire: For off-road terrestrial or planetary vehicles
