Star Catcher Industries is developing a space-based energy grid to facilitate power-intensive activities in space, such as edge computing and direct-to-cell telecommunications, through solar energy collection and transmission from satellites.
The company aims to address the power constraints faced by spacecraft by providing a beam of solar energy that can be adjusted to cater to various power needs, potentially allowing low-cost satellites to perform more effectively by recharging their batteries on demand.
Star Catcher's founders highlighted the significance of power generation in space, emphasizing the need for increased electricity capabilities to support the growing number of satellites in low Earth orbit and enable spacecraft to operate at power levels similar to a house.
