Brooklyn Startup Brings Aerospace Hardware Back to New York
Beyond Reach Labs, a Brooklyn-based aerospace startup, has raised $10M in funding to develop its deployable solar array technology, Flarewing. The company aims to bring aerospace manufacturing back to New York, with a new 16,000-square-foot facility in Industry City. Flarewing arrays can produce up to 10 times more power per launch than traditional panels, making them an attractive solution for commercial space stations and orbital data centers. The funding was led by Interlagos, with participation from Y Combinator, Augur, TerraForge, and Off Piste, as reported by AlleyWatch.
