HYLENR Technologies, a company specialising in emerging energy technologies, has signed a memorandum of understanding with space-focused enterprise TakeMe2Space to develop and test a computing module powered by low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR). Under the agreement, TakeMe2Space will provide the satellite platforms and subsystems required to validate HYLENR’s thermoelectric generator under real operating conditions.

An alternative to conventional nuclear sources

The integration of LENR technology into orbital systems could serve as an alternative to radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), commonly used in long-duration space missions. The project aims to demonstrate the system’s ability to autonomously produce and manage heat to power onboard computing modules. This method could reduce dependence on traditional radioactive sources and enhance energy efficiency within orbital infrastructure.

A testing platform for space computing infrastructure

As part of the collaboration, TakeMe2Space will assess the LENR system’s ability to power onboard computing modules while ensuring optimised thermal management. The development particularly focuses on the reuse of generated heat to support high-density computing components present in satellites. The demonstrator will provide insights into the system’s performance in an orbital environment.

Phased deployment and technical validation

The trials are part of a long-term validation strategy aimed at future autonomous missions and computing platforms deployed beyond terrestrial support. Siddhartha Durairajan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HYLENR Technologies, stated that the test represents “a decisive step in demonstrating the viability of our technology in a real operational environment”. Ronak Kumar Samantray, Founder of TakeMe2Space, added that the objective is to identify innovative energy solutions tailored to the specific needs of in-space computing.
