Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has been selected to participate in NASA’s Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity, establishing a collaborative effort with NASA’s Glenn Research Center and Johnson Space Center to advance next-generation space power technology.
Under the Space Act Agreement, Teledyne Energy Systems and NASA will work together to mature the company’s Hydrogen Electrical Power System (HEPS), advancing the technology from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 to TRL 7 for space environments. The collaboration supports NASA’s ongoing efforts to develop reliable, efficient power systems for future lunar and deep-space exploration missions.
“Selection for this collaboration is an important milestone for our hydrogen fuel cell technology and reflects the strength of our longstanding relationship with NASA,” said Barbara Stachowiak, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Energy Systems. “Advancing HEPS to a higher technology readiness level will further demonstrate its potential to provide reliable, scalable energy for future exploration architectures and long-duration surface operations.”
HEPS is an advanced hydrogen fuel cell system designed to deliver efficient, air-independent power for demanding space applications. Building on decades of Teledyne heritage in space power systems, the technology is intended to support future lunar habitats, surface infrastructure, and other exploration systems that require dependable energy generation in harsh environments. The collaboration will leverage the technical expertise and facilities of NASA Glenn and NASA Johnson to help validate HEPS performance in relevant space environments.
As NASA continues to invest in technologies that will enable a sustained human presence beyond Earth, advanced energy systems remain a critical component of future mission success. Through this collaboration, Teledyne Energy Systems will continue to advance innovative power solutions that support exploration, scientific discovery, and the next generation of space missions.
