We aim to make interplanetary smallsat space missions more economical while having higher capabilities so that everyday people on Earth can be part of a space-faring civilization, venturing into the unknown.
We make a wireless charging station in space that's dedicated to a smallsat constellation to enable its highest potential of capabilities & reliabilities by having a kW-level of power delivery at a low SWaP ratio & cost, having no dependence on the short period of solar exposure, and no limited precious power for on-demand, flexible satellite operations.
The values include increasing user capacity, enhancing data computing performance, increasing data throughput, having operational flexibility of electric propulsion, and others.
Our core technology is a scalable, tile system of RF Wireless Power Transmission technology. It is capable of transferring wireless power delivery and at the highest total system efficiency to provide high power at the lowest cost/kWh for customers.
