Record-Breaking Optical Power Beaming Proves Path to Scalable Power Grid for Space

In less than eight months since debuting its power beaming technology, Star Catcher recently completed a series of historic optical power beaming tests at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to validate core technologies for its orbital energy grid, the Star Catcher Network. Using an advanced suite of multi-wavelength lasers, the team delivered more than 1.1 kW of electrical power to commercial off-the-shelf solar panels at Space Florida's Launch and Landing Facility. The most recent record high was 800 watts set by DARPA in May 2025. Star Catcher delivered more than 10 megajoules of energy throughout the test campaign.
