BERKELEY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 6, 2026 / Helio Corporation (OTCID:HLEO) ("Helio" or the "Company"), a developer of advanced space power and engineering solutions supporting next-generation space infrastructure, today announced the filing of a new U.S. provisional patent application, marking the Company's third recent patent family and reflecting its ongoing strategy to protect and support potential future commercialization of internally developed innovations in deployable space structures, precision mechanisms, and spacecraft infrastructure technologies.

The provisional application covers a novel deployable boom support architecture designed to address a fundamental engineering challenge in deployable space systems by improving deployment reliability and precision for spacecraft, satellite systems, and space-based infrastructure. Helio believes the technology may have applications in future space-based solar power systems while improving the performance and reliability of spacecraft arrays, deployable antennas, sensing platforms, Earth observation platforms, communications systems, scientific instruments, and deep space missions where structural stability and pointing accuracy are critical. As Helio advances multiple aerospace technologies, management views intellectual property as a core strategic asset.

"We are taking an increasingly disciplined approach to turning internal engineering progress into protected intellectual property," said Vik Parti, Independent Director and Chairman of Intellectual Property at Helio. "Rather than incremental improvements, we're focused on solving meaningful mechanical challenges that can expand the performance envelope of deployable spacecraft systems while supporting the Company's intellectual property strategy."

This latest filing represents another step in Helio's broader effort to systematically identify and protect innovations emerging from its engineering programs before they reach commercialization. Each patent filing is intended to extend the commercial reach of Helio's engineering efforts beyond individual products or programs by securing proprietary positions around technologies across multiple space infrastructure applications. As Helio's portfolio of proprietary technologies continues to expand, management believes each new patent may support future licensing and collaboration opportunities supporting the Company's long-term development strategy.

The provisional patent application was filed by Heliospace Corporation, Helio's operating subsidiary.

About Helio Corporation

Helio is pioneering a new class of energy infrastructure-space-based power systems aka "Power plants in space" that captures solar energy beyond Earth's atmosphere and beams it safely and efficiently to the surface. Our vision is to establish orbital energy platforms as a foundational layer of the global power grid, delivering uninterrupted, carbon-free electricity at scale and reshaping how nations power cities, industries, and critical systems. Founded in 2018 as the 'problem solvers to the space industry,' Helio designs and delivers world-class space mechanisms, advanced antenna systems, and space design solutions; supporting NASA, private companies, universities, and global space agencies across missions ranging from small-scale programs to flagship space initiatives. We are proud to be a trusted partner to over a dozen space agencies, organizations, and companies across the globe. Our products can be found operating from the Sun to Jupiter. From NASA and European Space Agency to emerging private aerospace firms and academic institutions, we collaborate with some of the most innovative and forward-thinking players in the space industry. Helio Corporation is focused on developing and commercializing technologies for aerospace, space systems, and related advanced engineering applications. Through its operating subsidiaries, Helio seeks to build a portfolio of technologies and intellectual property directed to future space infrastructure and deployable systems.
