Star Catcher just raised $65 million to build the world's first power grid in space — with lasers

Space.com and 2 more

Star Catcher raises $65 million in a Series A led by B Capital, with Shield Capital and Cerberus Ventures co-lead, advancing its plan to deploy the first space-based power grid.
The funding solidifies Star Catcher’s trajectory toward building an orbital energy grid that delivers on-demand power to satellites and spacecraft via optical power beaming.
Industry backers expect rapid growth, with the round strengthening Star Catcher’s ability to move from validated tech to scalable space-based power delivery.
Star Catcher plans its inaugural in-space demonstration later this year, following on-ground tests including stadium-scale trials and Kennedy Space Center validation.
Star Catcher envisions extending satellite uptime and resilience, enabling operations even in eclipse by delivering power on demand.
Key board members, including Space Force veteran Jay Raymond, join Star Catcher’s leadership roster to guide scaling and national-security applications.
The investment fuels expansion into diverse use cases, from data-center power provisioning to potential lunar operations and on-orbit computing.
Star Catcher’s technology aims to deliver up to 10x more power to client satellites without retrofits, advancing orbital compute, sensing, and persistent communications.
Star Catcher reports seven power purchase agreements and government contracts, supporting a pipeline valued at over $3 billion in annual recurring revenue.
Star Catcher’s broader mission is to meet growing energy and infrastructure resilience needs in both Earth and orbit, enabling persistent capabilities for commercial and national-security missions.
