Addition to the battery products being on display, mu Space also revealed its breakthrough with solid-state batteries. The company successfully developed the hybrid solid-electrolyte whose internal resistance value meets the functional threshold, resulting in the solid-state battery being able to operate. This was demonstrated by using the solid-state battery to light up an LED bulb, and the results were displayed as pictures to audiences at TECHDAY 2022. Lastly, the company also announced its plans for its latest satellite production project, the mu-B500. The satellite, weighing around 500 kilograms and housing a communication payload, will connect directly to communication tools.

Apart from products, mu Space also revealed its plan for its biggest facility, mu Space Mega Factory. The idea of the plan came from the drive to scale production and to have a sustainable manufacturing facility. mu Space Corp gives paramount considerations to alternative energy sources, sustainable production, recycling processes, and reducing CO2 emissions. Apart from these revelations to the public, mu Space also announced that the factory would be built with high-grade materials, with 80% of the construction material being sourced locally while the remaining 20% being other innovative materials. The facility is planned to cover 200,000 square meters, however, it will begin at 20,000 square meters, the factory will boost the production capacity to around 1,000,000 units, and construction is expected to begin in 2025.
James Yenbamroong, mu Space CEO & CTO, had the following to say upon the Mega Factory:
“The size of the Mega Factory is set to be around 200,000 sq.m., as for the production capacity is at 1 million units, if we achieve this through a lot of hard work, we will be able to rapidly grow as a company”
mu Space looks forward to a successful 2023 and strives to use space technology to positively impact one’s well-being. Space and Earth are closer than ever before, and both rely on each other to function, and in recent times this goes for space technology as well.
