Technology

AEVI-1

Libraries of candidate materials in the space environment at once, watched as they fail, learning what survives. In development.

What the platform does

64 materials per run

Whole composition libraries in parallel. The best existing platforms test one sample at a time.

Space-representative environment

High vacuum, thermal cycling −150 °C to +150 °C. The full LEO envelope, plus margin.

Thousands of cycles, unattended

Multi-week campaigns of a thousand cycles and more, closing the gap between published testing and orbit.

Crystal structure, live

In-situ XRD tracks each sample's phase during stress, not just before and after.

Full degradation picture

Optical imaging, per-device IV under illumination, and outgassing chemistry. The failure modes flight experiments found and ground tests miss.

AI in the loop

Every measurement feeds one ML-ready dataset. Models learn what survives and choose what to test next.

Why hasn't this been done?

It sits between fields. Space testing, crystallography, robotics, and ML each hold one piece.

Academic stress-testing platforms
The best vacuum/thermal-cycling rigs test one sample at a time, manually.
Self-driving materials labs
Optimize efficiency at ambient pressure. None couples vacuum or deep thermal cycling into the loop.
Commercial test equipment
Nothing combines multi-sample, deep thermal cycling, high vacuum, and in-situ diagnostics. Nobody sells the intersection.
Qualification standards
No perovskite-specific standard has been issued. The first credible screening protocol becomes industry infrastructure.

The Real Product

Data that exists nowhere on Earth

No model can predict how a solar material degrades under coupled space stressors, because the training data has never existed.

Every AEVI-1 campaign records phase, optics, electrical output, and chemistry, cycle by cycle, across dozens of compositions. The dataset compounds with every run. It is where the value accumulates.

Have materials that need to survive space?

We are designing the first screening campaigns with partners. Send candidate compositions; get survival data nobody else can generate.
