- NASA and NUBURU to Demonstrate the Feasibility of Surface Power
Management Solutions Using Blue Laser Technology
- NUBURU’s Blue Laser Technology Provides Unique Solution that
Reduces Size and Weight of Equipment Needed for Power Beaming
Deployment on the Moon and Mars
NUBURU, Inc. (“NUBURU” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: BURU),
a leading innovator in high-power and high-brightness industrial
blue laser technology, today announced it has been awarded a
contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(“NASA”) to demonstrate the feasibility of power beaming in space
using the Company’s proprietary Blue Laser technology. Through
NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) funding
initiative, NUBURU has been selected to create a qualified solution
that mitigates the high costs associated with transporting copper
or aluminum wires that are critical to provide power to lunar or
planetary bases in remote locations.
“Power beaming is one of the only effective and economical
solutions to the power management challenges facing NASA and other
space operators today,” said Mark Zediker, CEO of NUBURU. “Powered
by our Blue Laser technology, the system we are developing will
provide a unique solution that dramatically reduces the size and
weight of the equipment needed to meet regular mission needs.”
During the initial phase of the project, NUBURU will focus its
efforts on establishing the scientific, technical and commercial
merit and feasibility of its technology. From there, NUBURU aims to
create a commercially viable product to tackle this ongoing problem
and continue to develop innovative space-qualified hardware.
In addition to tackling the core business challenges associated
with power transmission, NUBURU’s laser technology can provide
visual guidance to astronauts due to the scatter off either the
fine regolith powder suspended above the moon’s surface or the
Rayleigh Scattering off the Martian atmosphere and thus creating a
guided highway across these surfaces. NUBURU’s Blue Laser power
beaming system will also be equipped with a high bandwidth laser
communication link, ensuring laser safety and enabling data
transmission between widely spaced habitats.
NASA’s SBIR program funds the research, development, and
demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA needs as
described in the annual solicitations and have significant
potential for successful commercialization. This three-phase
process begins with a six-month idea generation period followed by
a two-year prototype development phase that then leads to
commercialization.

About NUBURU
Founded in 2015, NUBURU, Inc. (NYSEAM: BURU) is a developer and
manufacturer of industrial blue lasers that leverage fundamental
physics and their high-brightness, high-power design to produce
faster, higher quality welds and parts than current lasers can
provide in laser welding and additive manufacturing of copper,
gold, aluminum and other industrially important metals. NUBURU’s
industrial blue lasers produce minimal to defect-free welds that
are up to eight times faster than the traditional approaches — all
with the flexibility inherent to laser processing. For more
