Star Catcher Industries is a Jacksonville, Florida-based aerospace startup building the first power grid in space, using optical power beaming to deliver concentrated solar energy on demand to satellites and other spacecraft. The company's approach is designed to lift the power ceiling on existing satellite hardware — claiming up to 10x more available power with no retrofit or custom receiver — addressing what its team calls the binding constraint on space connectivity, computing, sensing and security workloads. Founded in 2024 by CEO Andrew Rush, Star Catcher has set a world record for optical power beaming, completed an on-orbit subsystem demonstration, and serves both commercial space operators and U.S. national security customers.
