Star Catcher is creating the first space power grid - an orbital power transmission system designed for wireless optical (laser) power transmission to satellites and spacecraft. This grid could reduce the need for larger onboard solar arrays and batteries, extend mission life, and enable more energy-intensive applications in orbit. Star Catcher's laser receivers are small and lightweight, and can be installed without major modifications to the satellite's structure. The company has already completed an in-orbit demonstration of the subsystem and, according to the company, set a world record for optical power transmission.
