Star Catcher

Star Catcher is a space technology company founded in 2024 by Andrew Rush, Michael Snyder, and Bryan Lyandvert. The company focuses on transforming satellite operations with its innovative Star Catcher Network, a space-based energy grid designed to provide solar power to satellites on demand. This system aims to eliminate power constraints for satellites and spacecraft, enabling cost-effective and sustainable space operations.The Star Catcher Network features a space-to-space power beaming system that transmits broad-spectrum solar energy to existing satellite solar panels. This technology enhances power availability for high-demand payloads, extends operational uptime during orbital eclipses, and reduces the need for oversized solar arrays. Star Catcher is committed to advancing space energy infrastructure while ensuring reliability and sustainability in satellite operations. The company has secured $12.25 million in seed funding to support the deployment of its energy grid and plans to scale operations to serve thousands of spacecraft.
