Helio Corporation Highlights Federal SBSP Investment, Fourth Patent Filing, and Southwest Investor Roadshow as Momentum Accelerates
BERKELEY, CA /ACCESS Newswire/ September 11, 2026 /Helio Corporation (OTCID:HLEO) (“Helio” or the “Company”), a developer of advanced Space-Based Solar Power (“SBSP”) and engineering technologies pioneering commercial lunar hardware, today provided a corporate update outlining a week of significant developments which range from new federal tailwinds for the SBSP industry, to an expanding intellectual property portfolio, to an upcoming four-city investor roadshow across the Southwest. Together, these milestones reinforce Helio’s strategy of pairing flight-proven engineering with disciplined capital markets execution to drive long-term shareholder value.

Washington Puts Real Dollars Behind Space-Based Solar Power
This week, Helio highlighted new federal commitment to the SBSP sector that it believes validates the long-term thesis behind its orbital energy strategy. On August 31, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy announced a new grant program funding space photovoltaics research and development. Helio intends to submit an application for the program as it works to advance its own SBSP technology.
Helio enters this moment with flight-proven credibility already in hand: since its founding in 2018, the Company has delivered hardware across four lunar missions and developed deployable mechanisms, antenna systems, and other space-qualified technologies for NASA and commercial space programs. It has also secured commercial contracts with two customers – Elysium, a cognitive microcity in Florida, and Poderosa S.A., one of the largest gold producers in Latin America – underscoring early commercial traction for its energy technology.
Fourth Patent Filing Strengthens Helio’s Lunar IP Moat
Helio also announced its fourth patent filing, a U.S. provisional patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on September 9, 2026. Developed by the Company’s Heliospace subsidiary, the filing covers launcher technology designed to deploy scientific instruments from a lunar lander to multiple points across the surrounding surface in a single mission without repositioning the lander or relying on a separate rover. The underlying design already carries mission heritage, having been used in prior space missions, and the filing’s scope extends beyond the Moon to cover instrument deployment from spacecraft, rovers, and other planetary platforms.
