Curious to understand how batteries are fitting into the equation for space, either energy storage or onboard systems.
Batteries are becoming increasingly important for energy storage and onboard systems in space, especially as technology and power needs grow.
Do you see batteries becoming a more larger section of the subcomponent category as time goes on?
Batteries are part of our funding considerations, but not a top priority. We're supporting companies in the sector, yet it's a subcomponent of larger projects.
So, we do not necessarily have any, like, specific battery initiatives. But if you're just generally talking about batteries and and kind of the technology or the technological advancements in that sector, I don't really have anything for you on that other than we are funding there are numerous companies in our portfolio that are battery companies, but it is not like a main headline, you know, hey. We do have prioritized kind of funding lists that we're looking at right now. Batteries are not on that list necessarily. Again, that is a that is a subcomponent technology to kind of the larger problem sets we are funding, if that makes sense. I mean, it's definitely part of it. Again, this is not necessarily the the highest rated priority that we have. But I could tell you there's plenty of money that we have so that you build a credible solution or just even a viable, proposal. If it makes sense and you find a support customer internal to us, which we do have support customers that would be, interested in these types of things. I could I could tell you that you can gain some momentum in the space. You just won't be funded at a very large capacity. I'd say at least for the next look. We're trying to proliferate a lot of what we're we're funding right now and putting into space. It's not there yet. And so that is kind of the second, maybe even third order of effect once we get up there and, like, we're fully outfitted up there in certain orbits.
