FluxWorks, a revolutionary company leading the way in  development of magnetic gear technology, received a grant of up to $347,196 from the  Texas Space Commission. The Conroe-based enterprise built on more than a decade of  Ph.D. research and experience was one of five proposed projects to receive a total of $20.7  million from the Texas Space Commission.

“It feels like the hard work paid off for the whole team,” FluxWorks Founder and Chief  Executive Officer Bryton Praslicka, Ph.D. said of the award. “The Texas Space Commission  has done more than just award us the money, though. Between last October and now, I’ve  met with them frequently and each time we visit, they make introductions. In fact, one of  our newest employees was a referral from the Texas Space Commission.”

The Texas Space Commission was established in 2023 by the 88th Texas Legislature to  promote innovation in the field of space operations and commercial aerospace  opportunities into the Texas economy. Praslicka, who employs eight full-time workers and  four contractors at FluxWorks headquarters in Conroe, says the funding from the Texas  Space Commission will make an out-of-this world impact: it will help launch FluxWorks  technology into space.
