Ascent Solar Technologies Inc (ASTI)

[BehindTheFacade]

Followed the trail a little further, the company creating the solar array is using photovoltaics from Solaero (a private company) that bought the tech from emcore via veritas private equity. Solaero also does UAV business with none other than bye aerospace (which ASTI used to tout - silent falcon anyone?). That is not great to see, would help to account for the decrease in sales around their solar items - because it looks like they lost a contract with bye aerospace to them a few years ago? That also doesn't bode well for NASA or the US market leaving only JAXA and any Chinese initiatives as far as I can tell. I'm not one to be pessimistic about this stock but considering relationships they used to have seem to be held by others now is not very promising.
