We are developing a power transfer technology (wireless or wired) that is a power solution for remote vehicles operating in highly challenging environments (long-range or severe pressure or temperature or radiation) for extended periods. Our key differentiation is that the tech is based on lasers versus other forms of energy. This solution will unlock unprecedented values for our customers.
This world-first project will aim to power spacecrafts from Earth using advanced laser, power receiver, and tracking systems to dramatically increase the performance of satellites while decreasing their weight.
