## About

Founded in 2024 and based in Florida, US, Star Catcher Industries, Inc. operates as a space-based energy generation company. The company was founded by its CEO, Andrew Rush, and CTO Michael Snyder. In October 2026, Star Catcher Industries, Inc. received USD 30 million in grant funding from the United States Space Force.

Star Catcher's primary product includes a space-based energy grid, which is an orbital infrastructure that allows spacecraft to receive power from a network of solar-powered satellites, which eliminates the need for individual spacecraft to carry and maintain their own power systems. The firm’s space-based energy grid consists of power satellites, which collect solar energy and transmit it to another spacecraft. The company provides a network of satellites designed to transmit power to other spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).The company will use the October 2026 funding to prepare its Protostar mission to test laser power transmission between two untethered objects in space.
