In 2013, Ozark IC discovered and patented the sensor at the heart of the UV-100 XNode. While the sensor can be utilized in a wide variety of applications, like automotive, aerospace and industrial safety as a flame detector, the UV-100 XNode has been exclusively used in space, to measure the amount of ultraviolet light emitted by the sun. In fact, the UV-100 is designed to plug into interfaces on the International Space Station and other space platforms. Three UV-100’s were flown on the space station from 2018-2021, completing over 10,000 orbits around the earth, and a UV XNode is slated to land on the moon as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services NASA program during the second half of 2026.
