In Grangegorman, the company developed Segri-COOL, an advanced cooling radiator designed to ensure the reliable operation of electronic systems in the extreme conditions of the Moon’s south pole.

Inspired by the heat regulation mechanisms found in elephant ears, Segri-COOL features a 3D blade design that maximises exposure to the depths of space, reducing solar heating and supporting functionality throughout the lunar day.

According to Enovus, in contrast to traditional cooling systems, Segri-COOL eliminates the need for embedded pipes, reducing both weight and cost, which is particularly valuable for space missions, where every gram counts in terms of efficiency and budget.

In addition, the firm is expanding Segri-COOL’s capabilities to adapt it for deployments on Earth, where lightweight and compact cooling solutions are in demand. Potential applications could include aerospace, high-performance computing, and other industries requiring systematic thermal management in challenging environments.

The device is scheduled for deployment on a lunar mission launching in the coming weeks.

Nick Jeffers, co-founder of Enovus Labs, expressed that “we are thrilled to announce the launch of our innovative hardware design to the Moon. This milestone is not only a significant achievement for our team but also a proud moment for the entire space community in Ireland”.

“As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to expand our company and solidify our position as a key player in the global space sector”, he concluded.
