Space has never had a power grid. Until now. The Star Catcher Network beams concentrated solar energy directly to satellites in orbit. Up to 10x more power, on demand, with no retrofit. This is the infrastructure that unlocks the next era of space.

In-space manufacturing needs a lot of power. Far more than today's satellites can generate alone. Enter: Star Catcher's orbital energy grid. During our recent record-breaking ground demo, @CisLunarInd ran a 3D electromagnetic levitation and manipulation experiment fully powered by our wireless power beaming tech. See it in action 👇

The future of space will not be as bright as it can be without new ways of thinking. Just building bigger arrays isn’t enough. Shared power infrastructure is the transformational unlock that will deliver the bright future of space!

Space is transitioning from a frontier town to an industrial city. By 2030, orbital power demand is expected to increase by 20x (conservatively). That jump on Earth took 200 years with established grid infrastructure. Star Catcher is building the first energy grid in space to power the space industrial revolution.

@SciGuySpace Why not put it up for sale? The only operating ride to suborbital space for humans and research has enormous immediate and potential value. This is a step back for commercial space. This is a step back for human spaceflight.

First take on Blue Origin ending—err, pausing—its New Shepard program. It really did come as a surprise internally, where there are four new boosters in various states of development. arstechnica.com/space/2026/01/…

💡Concentrated solar energy beamed from Star Catcher's orbital power grid can help VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit) satellites generate 2 to 10 times more power without needing larger solar panels. "When you couple power beaming with electric propulsion, it actually lets you stretch your fuel further." interactive.satellitetoday.com/via/december-2…

We have so much to be thankful for this year, but above all, we are thankful for all of our team members, investors, customers, and partners for being on this journey with us to make a space-based energy grid a reality. Beam on!

On this day in 2014 – Made In Space made global manufacturing history when their 3-D printer produced the first object ever fabricated in space on the International Space Station—ushering in a new era of on-demand manufacturing off Earth. Made In Space moved their HQ to Florida in 2020 in partnership with Space Florida, which later formed the nucleus of @redwire global HQ in Jacksonville. #America250FL

Lasers? ✅ Space? ✅ Space lasers?! ✅ No, we aren't building the Death Star. We're building the first power grid in space. Today's satellites can't generate enough power on their own to meet the growing demand for satellite services like real-time remote sensing, direct-to-cell connectivity, and even orbital data centers. Space needs a power grid to enable the next wave of technology advancement. But, cables won't work. Via optical power beaming, the Star Catcher Network enables satellites to generate up to 10x more power than onboard systems alone with no retrofit required.

@_diginova @StarCatcherInd No birds in space, buddy. And our beams are sufficiently diffuse that no birds were harmed during ground testing

What a week! In the midst of announcing our big power beaming milestone, you might've noticed things look a little different around here. 👀 We decided our brand needed a facelift — something that matches the energy of the transformational technology we're building. ☀️
