Delivering Energy in Orbit through laser power transmission technology for satellites
Confirmed by founderMantis Space is pioneering the future of space power delivery through advanced laser energy transmission technology. The company builds optical assemblies, laser systems, and ultra-efficient high power components that beam precise and reliable laser power to satellite constellations, eliminating eclipse downtime and enabling continuous operations in every orbit. Mantis spacecraft positioned in lower Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) can transmit power thousands of kilometers to solar arrays, extending vehicle life and operational efficiency across the space economy.
Satellites lose power during eclipse periods when they move behind Earth's shadow, causing operational downtime and limiting mission effectiveness. The growing space economy needs reliable, continuous power delivery to support satellite constellations, lunar missions, manufacturing, defense operations, and communication networks.
Mantis develops laser power transmission technology that beams energy from spacecraft in Medium Earth Orbit directly to satellites during eclipse periods. Their optical systems deliver precise, reliable laser power to eliminate downtime and enable continuous satellite operations across all orbital phases.
Mantis Space emerged from stealth in March 2026 with a $10M seed round from Rule 1 Ventures and Montauk Climate. The company is establishing headquarters in Albuquerque, NM with plans to create over 200 high-wage jobs and generate $480 million in economic impact.
