Star Catcher
Space-based energy grid for satellites
About
Founded in 2020, Star Catcher Industries develops a space-based solar energy grid to wirelessly beam power to spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. This technology supports larger, more complex space missions by enabling sustained energy supply off-planet. The company is pursuing a phased validation approach beginning with ground demonstrations, followed by on-orbit demonstrations planned for late 2025, leading to commercial deployment. Star Catcher's business model centers on providing orbital power infrastructure services to satellite operators and space mission providers, enabling longer-duration and more energy-intensive operations in orbit.
