Astracene, Inc. Assessed “Awardable” for DARPA ERIS Marketplace
Los Angeles, CA
October 22, 2026 – Astracene, Inc., a space infrastructure company pioneering innovative approaches to space radiators and trusses today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status through DARPA Expedited Research Innovation System (ERIS) Marketplace.
Astracene’s solutions are designed to provide rapid, turn-key thermal solutions for satellites of all scales, from SmallSats to orbital data centers. “We are excited that DARPA recognized the revolutionary potential of our deployable radiator technology, and the ERIS Marketplace will help streamline our ability to work with stakeholders within the US government,” said Lee Wilson, Founder & CEO of Astracene. “As the costs of generating power in space have dramatically fallen, the entire space industry is now limited by their ability to reject that power as heat. Astracene breaks through that barrier with our ultra-modular radiators that can scale to from 1kW up to 100kW and can enable entirely new missions for both government and commercial entities from higher power communications to orbital compute.”
Astracene’s video, Ultra-scalable Deployable Radiators, accessible only by government customers with a .mil email address on the DARPA ERIS Marketplace, showcases the underlying technology and how it enables a rapid, turn-key thermal solution for missions of all scales.
Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create an ERIS Marketplace account at www.darpaconnect.us/eris.
