Star Catcher Industries Announces Plans for the World’s First “Space Power Network”
This network will consist of Power Node satellites that will collect solar energy in space and transfer it at higher concentrations to other satellites in orbit. Unlike traditional concepts where energy is transmitted to Earth, Star Catcher proposes using this energy to power other spacecraft.
The company’s founders, including renowned space industry entrepreneurs Andrew Rush and Michael Snyder, have already secured the support of several major companies and raised $12.25 million in seed funding. The first demonstration launch of this system is planned for 2025, followed by commercial deployment. This network promises to significantly increase satellite power supply capabilities and reduce operating costs.
This initiative could transform the future of space technologies, providing constant and sustainable energy supply for many satellites and other space objects, which is especially crucial given the growing demand for powerful space applications such as telecommunications and surveillance. More information about the project can be found on the official Star Catcher website.
