Amidst the competition to establish data centers in space, Star Catcher Industries has set an ambitious objective. The company intends to launch a network of spacecraft designed to transmit concentrated solar power to other satellites.
A depiction shows how a Star Catcher spacecraft might function. Using lenses to collect and focus sunlight, the spacecraft would then transmit a refined energy beam to customer satellites.
On June 8, 2026, Star Catcher Industries, based in Anaheim, California, announced its intentions. The company envisions building the first ‘energy grid’ in space. This network aims to supply power not only to satellites but also to future data centers that might orbit the Earth, should initiatives by companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX come to fruition.
