Today I’m introducing Overview Energy after 3 years in stealth. We’re developing space energy for Earth using wide-beam, near-infrared lasers in GEO. Our satellites will beam energy to large solar projects on Earth, allowing them to generate power at night and turn solar into a reliable 24/7 resource.

@elonmusk @OverviewEnergy could deliver >100 GW/yr of redirectable, day and night, space solar energy to existing solar projects on earth at that kind of tonnage to orbit--no need for new land or development! When will commercial starship be ready for our payloads?

With this panel, it's certainly going to be a lively conversation about the future of space energy and compute infrastructure Space was once the domain only of comms, science, and exploration, now its the future of energy and compute

Come say hello to @marcberte_ceo and @SagiKfir at the @aiaa ASCEND 2026 in DC! Marc is speaking about space solar energy on the "Scotty, I Need More Power" panel Tuesday afternoon

Awesome to be part of the 2026 @NYSE Space Summit and at the ringing of the closing bell ...give us a few years and @OverviewEnergy will be ringing it for ourselves!

The key issue isn't the heat per unit of usable work. It's the net addition to Earth's energy budget. We already have two separate forces heating the planet: - greenhouse gases absorbing longwave infrared radiation - direct heating from engines, power plants, etc... We don't need a third source beaming energy (that would otherwise miss the planet) back at Earth warming it up even more. We need to reflect more sunlight away from Earth, not towards it. 1 GW is negligible compared to the size of planet but the problem only gets worse as you scale, and every tenth of a degree matters. Despite the appeal of beaming clean 24/7 energy down to Earth, from a thermodynamic perspective, it makes more sense to deploy terrestrial-based solar and batteries, than to beam solar energy down to Earth. The other alternative is of course consuming the solar energy directly in space (data centers, manufacturing) that way the heat can be dissipated into the vacuum of space and doesn't go towards heating the Earth.

We’re announcing two new partnerships to bring innovative energy generation and storage to our data centers: 1/ 🛰️ Space Solar: Partnering with Overview Energy to beam up to 1 GW of space solar power from orbit to Earth for around the clock power production.

@ExergyLab @Meta_Engineers If you want to radiate a gigawatt of energy back into space to make up for it, paint a few parking lots white. This isn't a problem.

@DJSnM What a lot of people don't realize is additional to better reusability and performance, there is likely a major benefit in mass production--sufficiently purified methane is easier to obtain than the requisite purity of kerosene (RP-1)

@RocketLab This kind of thinking is what will enable the hyper-reusability that will be required for the next order of magnitude increase in mass to orbit and decrease in cost to orbit Looking forward to booking a nearly infinite quantity of launch

Traditional rocket fairings fall away as part of the launch process, making them either expendable or requiring recovery assets to capture and reuse them. Neutron rethinks this equation with the Hungry Hippo fairing. It stays attached to Neutron’s first stage, opening to release stage two and the payload during launch, before closing up and landing as complete unit with stage one, ready to launch again. It's all part of driving down launch cost and increasing launch cadence to give constellations better access to orbit.

@zebulgar @JeffBezos New Glenn provides a really good payload density (Check out @Starlink and compare mass to orbit capability vs what mass of satellites actually fit) Future launch vehicles _WILL_ need to keep payload density, not just mass in mind

Building in the DC area means you don’t have to go far for important conversations. Last week, discussing how space is becoming a new layer of U.S. energy resilience with Representative Mike Haridopolos and his team.

@Peter_J_Beck High power, low cost, mass produced EP enables large constellations to expand beyond LEO That expansion will enable energy from space to be a reality

Meet Gauss: Our new in-house designed and built electric propulsion system. Electric propulsion satellite thrusters have historically proven extremely difficult to produce in high volumes, causing supply chain fragility for national security and commercial constellation operators alike. We’ve already established the Gauss production line, designed to produce more than 200 thrusters per year, ensuring we can supply thrusters on demand in large quantities.

@JeffBezos The existence of multiple, large, reusable rockets will enable a dramatic leap forward in enabling what we can do in space to benefit the earth--first was communications, next will be energy Energy will require orders of magnitude more launch volume

This @TechCrunch conversation hits on a key point: AI load growth is still uncertain. What’s not uncertain is that global power demand is rising. In a world of lower launch costs and mass-produced satellites, orbital data centers could address one part of the problem, while space solar energy goes after the entire underlying constraint. techcrunch.com/2026/04/05/can…

The more we push into space, the more that it becomes a part of all of us and opens up opportunities for exploration and using space to make earth better. I wish the @NASAArtemis crew a safe journey and lets light this candle!
The Associated Press@AP

NASA is preparing for its first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years. The Artemis II mission will not land on the lunar surface but is a critical step in testing deep space travel, and the crew reflects a more diverse, international generation of spaceflight

Monday's NVIDIA news is another signal. Space infrastructure is accelerating. A “space stack” is emerging: compute, manufacturing, energy (where we play). But wherever compute lives, the energy constraints on Earth don’t disappear. That’s the layer that matters most in the long-run. nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/space-com…

Interesting signal from @TheEconomist Energy Transition Summit this week: space solar energy is starting to come up in conversations organically. Not “is this sci-fi?” anymore. The question people raised: can beam tracking actually work? (yes) The dialogue is moving from speculation to engineering.
