Mantis Space is energy provider for space missions and LEO satellites. It creates a constellation of spacecraft that orbit Earth, capturing solar energy and transmitting it to other spacecraft in orbit using optical systems with modern laser technology. These systems wirelessly transmit power directly to the satellites' existing solar panels. Mantis' power infrastructure eliminates the typical power shortage experienced by satellites when they enter darkness approximately every 95 minutes (a period known in the space industry as an eclipse) and extends their operational life.
