Development of new 3D technology may enable future space missions to print spare battery packs on demand and en route therefore reducing the cost of transport and reserving cargo capacity SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2020 / KULR Technology Group, Inc. (OTCQB:KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR") today announces that NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has awarded the Company a dual-use technology development agreement to build 3D printed battery systems for manned and robotic space applications. KULR's passive propagation resistant (PPR) and internal short circuit (ISC) technologies will be used to develop 3D printed battery systems that meet the JSC 20793 Revision D safety standard created by NASA for crewed space missions. "NASA employs highly rigorous assurance and safety standards, especially for our man-rated technologies. KULR's PPR design solution for future manned and unmanned space missions is an ideal fit for mass design, flexibility and cost, all the while maintaining this safety rigor through battery risks such as thermal runaway," said NASA MSFC Deputy Chief Technologist John Carr.
