Lyten (LYTN) has announced its rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery cells will be demonstrated aboard the International Space Station. This initiative, funded by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), aims to test the batteries in applications such as satellites and space suits. Lyten’s batteries will undergo rigorous testing under launch, orbital, and recovery conditions.

Lyten’s Lithium-Sulfur Battery Technology

Lyten, a leader in lithium-sulfur technology, will explore the potential of its cells for space applications. These batteries offer high energy density and lightweight characteristics, crucial for space operations.

Partnerships and Collaborations

The DIU is collaborating with Lyten and integration partners Spacebilt/Skycorp to test these batteries. The project benefits from ISS National Lab sponsorship and NASA’s resupply mission.

Advancing Space Battery Technology

Lyten’s technology, originally funded by NASA, intends to extend astronaut extravehicular activities. The cells are expected to be flight-certified and ready for various space-related uses after tests on the ISS.

Expanding Applications Across Industries

Beyond aerospace, Lyten’s batteries, made in San Jose, CA, are suitable for automotive, UAVs, and consumer electronics. Their commitment to local manufacturing aligns with the Inflation Reduction Act and other national policies.
