Cosa fa Beyond Reach Labs
At Beyond Reach Labs we are building solar panels for Space that grow from the size of a dining table to a football field in orbit. Mitch and Pele met 13 years ago as freshmen at UPenn studying mechanical engineering. Mitch recently got his PhD at Carnegie Mellon working with NASA on kilometer-scale deployable structures, and Pele spent seven years at SpaceX leading Dragon parachute engineering, safely returning astronauts from space. The collective satellites today use around 20MW, roughly the output of a datacenter on earth, but by 2030 there is a demand for over 10GW, a 500x increase, largely driven by orbital datacenters, space stations, and lunar outposts. If you want more power, your only option is to launch larger solar panels, which quickly become fragile or impractically expensive. As a result, power constraints already determine whether missions or industries can exist at all. But at Beyond Reach Labs we have introduced a new class of deployable solar panels giving satellites 10x more usable power without increasing launch mass or volume. This works because our patented deployable design changes geometry in space, allowing for us to reach 10x longer while remaining rigid.

Beyond Reach Labs
Space solar arrays that grow in orbit
We build solar panels designed specifically for space. Our panels launch about the size of a dining table but deploy in orbit to the size of a football field. The design lets us reach 10x longer solar arrays while keeping mass and launch volume low. This gives satellites much more power without the fragility and cost problems of today's large panels.
We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
We chose New York because the team is here. Founders Mitch and Pele have strong personal and professional ties here, which makes recruiting and operations practical.
