Conf# 4700878
Rocket One Appoints Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay
as Lead Technical Advisor of AI Nanomagnetic Technology
Pioneering nanomagnetics researcher to guide
development of the company’s radiation-tolerant, ultra-low-power AI chip platform
NEW YORK — June 1, 2026 — Rocket One Inc. (Nasdaq:
RKTO) today announced the appointment of Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay as Lead Technical Advisor of AI Nanomagnetic Technology.
In this role, Dr. Bandyopadhyay will guide the technical development of the company’s nanomagnetic AI chip technology as Rocket
One builds infrastructure for the orbital economy, including AI computing and memory hardware engineered for space and defense environments.
Dr. Bandyopadhyay is a Commonwealth Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University and a leading authority on nanomagnetics and spintronics, the scientific foundations underlying
Rocket One’s licensed nanomagnetic matrix multiplier architecture. His appointment deepens the technical link between Rocket One’s
platform and the foundational research from which it is derived.
“Dr. Bandyopadhyay’s work sits at the very heart of what
makes our technology possible,” said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer of Rocket One. “As we move from a launch story to
a compute story, having one of the field’s foremost researchers guiding our roadmap gives us a credible technical foundation to
build on for orbital and high-radiation environments.”
“Rocket One is pursuing exactly the kind of real-world application
this technology was designed for—computing that can think for itself under power and radiation constraints that conventional hardware
cannot handle,” said Dr. Bandyopadhyay. “I look forward to helping translate years of foundational research into deployable
systems for space and defense.”
About Rocket One Inc.
Rocket One Inc. is focused
on developing and commercializing infrastructure for the orbital economy, including next-generation nanomagnetic AI chip technology designed
for radiation-tolerant, energy-constrained environments such as low-Earth orbit, deep-space platforms, and defense systems. The Company
holds exclusive rights to certain technologies, including a nanomagnetic matrix multiplier architecture intended as a hardware accelerator
for machine learning and AI workloads, and related magnetic memory technology with potential applications in radiation-tolerant computing
for defense and space systems. The Company is also positioned to pursue opportunities in nano-launch systems and nanosatellite deployment.
The Company's biotechnology pipeline, including, but not limited to, HT-001, HT-KIT, HT-ALZ, and its GDNF-based metabolic program, will
continue to be advanced under a wholly owned subsidiary.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's strategic repositioning, the development potential of the licensed
technologies, the suitability of those technologies for orbital, defense, and other applications, anticipated future operations and market
opportunities. You should not place reliance on these forward-looking statements, which include words such as "could," "believe,"
"anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "may," "continue," "predict,"
"potential," "project" or similar terms, variations of such terms, or the negative of those terms. There are a number
of factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are based on the Company's current expectations and assumptions and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including,
without limitation: the early-stage nature of the licensed technologies, which have not been fabricated as integrated devices, validated
in space environments, or qualified for any commercial or government program, and the absence of any commercial product; the substantial
additional capital the Company will require to fabricate, test, and qualify the licensed technologies, including for radiation tolerance
and space deployment; the long development timelines associated with novel semiconductor and materials platforms; competition from larger,
better-funded and well recognized companies in the semiconductor, AI hardware, space, and defense computing sectors; the Company's ability
to recruit qualified leadership and technical personnel in nanomagnetic devices, semiconductor engineering, and aerospace systems; the
Company's ability to comply with diligence milestones under the Virginia Commonwealth University license agreements, the failure
of which could result in loss of license rights; intellectual property risks; export control and government contracting risks associated
with defense and space applications; and the risks inherent in a strategic pivot. Additional risk factors are described in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the Company's other filings made with the SEC. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee such outcomes. The Company may not realize its expectations, and its beliefs may
not prove correct. All such statements speak only as of the date made. Consequently, forward-looking statements should be regarded solely
as the Company's current plans, estimates, and beliefs. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company
cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. The Company does not undertake and specifically
declines any obligation to update, republish, or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events, or circumstances
or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events, except as may be required by applicable law.
