We just hit a huge milestone— we landed a $60M @SpaceWERXDOD program to power the next generation of space based capabilities! Super proud of the team. More to come!

We caught another star today! 💫 Please join us in welcoming Daniel Sherman as Star Catcher’s new Vice President of Communications!  Most recently as the Head of Portfolio PR at Initialized Capital, Daniel advised over 100 startups, helping them scale by securing placements in publications like The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, and The New York Times.   With his human-centric approach to leadership and storytelling, we couldn’t be more excited to have Daniel shaping our story and leading the way!

“Space. The Final Frontier”: @gerardreid14 and I set out to explore one of the biggest ideas emerging alongside the excitement around a potential @SpaceX IPO: datacenters in space. To refuel those satellites emerged the concept of an orbital grid where beams are directed to provide electricity to space crafts, like a gas station in space. It may sound like science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming a medium-term engineering challenge being tackled by some of the brightest minds of our generation. One of those pioneers is Andrew @RushSpace , CEO of @StarCatcherInd , a company building what will become the world's first orbital energy grid—a network of satellites capable of wirelessly transmitting power to other spacecraft on demand hundreds of kilometres away. Andrew is the man for the mission: he previously served on the Technology, Innovation and Engineering Committee of the NASA Advisory Council, helping advise NASA's Administrator, the Office of the Chief Technologist, and its Mission Directorates. Before founding Star Catcher, he successfully built and exited two leading space companies: Redwire and Made-In-Space. His vision is ambitious: create an "energy-as-a-service" platform for space. Rather than forcing every satellite to carry increasingly large solar arrays and batteries, spacecraft could draw power from a shared orbital network whenever they need it. If successful, this infrastructure could become as fundamental to the space economy as the electrical grid is on Earth. Investors are taking notice. Star Catcher has raised approximately $88 million to date, including a recent $65 million Series A led by B Capital, Shield Capital, and Cerberus Ventures. Andrew believes SpaceX's reusable rockets have dramatically reduced the cost of reaching orbit, unleashing an explosion in satellite deployment. The next major bottleneck, however, is no longer launch—it's power. Star Catcher aims to build the energy infrastructure that enables the next generation of space-based industries. In this conversation, we explore what's real, what's possible, and what's still myth when it comes to energy in space. We also discuss why technologies that once seemed decades away may arrive much sooner than most people expect. The future of the space economy isn't just about getting to orbit—it's about powering everything that comes next. Live long and prosper.

Only a team that works together as well as ours could execute a high-five this precisely! Our engineers have been hard at work building critical flight hardware for our first on-orbit optical power beaming demonstration.  Help us build the first power grid in space → star-catcher.com/careers

APPROVED FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: On this monumental 250th anniversary of American independence, Zenno Astronautics announces its intent to redomicile to the United States, establishing Los Angeles as its new home base. Zenno will expand its manufacturing footprint in L.A. and is proud to bring the world’s best superconducting magnet talent to America (and some strong kiwi accents). 🦅

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we look back at a country defined by explorers, innovators, dreamers, and builders. From the founding of a new democracy, to the great infrastructure projects of the 1800s and now the dawn of this Golden Age in space, American innovation has always led the way. At Star Catcher, we are building the first power grid in space, providing the critical infrastructure needed to ensure America’s continued scientific and technological leadership as humanity sets its sights on the stars. 🇺🇸

What makes a power grid in space possible today? Check out @RushSpace on @cheddar explaining why the surge of low Earth orbit satellites and advancements in laser-based communications are making shared space energy infrastructure not just possible, but inevitable.

I'm honored to join the @zennospace board! Max and the team have accomplished an amazing feat with proving their breakthrough technology in space. I'm excited to help them scale it in applications across the space industry.

Howard is a titan!

APPROVED FOR IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE:

When this flies, @StarCatcherInd will be happy to make it a 10 MW ODC

It’s always awesome to have your company recognized on the @NYSE! Same feeling as taking @Redwire public there a few years ago!

Excited to chat about space, lasers, infrastructure, and our $65M Series A with the @offnom crew tomorrow! I'll be there with my tequila old fashioned in hand. Join us live at 4pm ET: piped.video/live/jv42NyKfy9E…

This was a blast to do! Last time I was on that floor, we were taking Redwire public. The markets were just starting to see the potential of space. This time, its mainstream & the impact of space infrastructure is emerging. Next time, space power infrastructure will be mainstream
