Space-based energy<\/strong> firm Star Catcher has set a new record for long-distance electricity transmission<\/strong>. The company successfully managed to beam 1.1 kW<\/strong> of power using an optical laser system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star Catcher Industries<\/strong> has achieved a new milestone in transferring electricity over long distances. During tests conducted with the company’s Star Catcher Network<\/strong> system, 1.1 kW of energy<\/strong> was successfully beamed. Moreover, this success was achieved using standard solar panel components<\/strong> that are easily available in the market. Thus, Star Catcher has surpassed the previous record held by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA<\/a><\/em>)<\/strong>. The company states that the tests, conducted at the NASA<\/a><\/em> Kennedy Space Center<\/strong> in Florida, could pave the way for obtaining unlimited solar energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Idea of Sending Energy from Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept of space-based solar energy<\/strong> was first proposed in 1968<\/strong> by Peter Glaser, a Czechoslovakian-born American scientist and aerospace engineer. Glaser suggested placing giant solar panels in space and transmitting the generated energy to Earth via microwave beams<\/strong>. Unlike solar farms on Earth, weather conditions do not pose an obstacle with this method, and since satellites can be placed in orbits that constantly face the sun, 24\/7 energy production<\/strong> becomes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Star Catcher’s record-breaking recent trial, an optical power beam<\/strong> was sent to commercial-type solar panels. While China is conducting trials with large-scale energy receiver towers, DARPA<\/strong> is continuing similar projects. The agency held the previous record with an 800 W transmission conducted in June 2025<\/strong>. Star Catcher uses technology similar to DARPA’s. Instead of generating microwaves, a multi-spectral powerful laser<\/strong> powered by energy taken from solar panels is used. In other words, a concentrated beam of light is sent to another solar panel array, and the panel converts this light into electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Star Catcher aims to use this technology primarily to fast charge<\/strong> other satellites in space and subsequently to send power to Earth. This method can also be used to provide power to orbital data centers<\/strong> and in-orbit manufacturing satellites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, the Star Catcher Network<\/strong> collects and concentrates sunlight in space, converts this light into wavelengths suitable for satellite panels, and transmits it wirelessly to target satellites. Thus, it becomes possible for satellites to access 2 to 10 times more power<\/strong> instantly without the need for any hardware changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company used several different solar panel designs in its latest test. while this test was carried out on the ground, Star Catcher aims to perform an orbital test<\/strong> next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
