Open Cosmos completed the MANTIS mission in October 2025.
Mantis Space is developing a constellation of spacecraft that is designed to orbit almost continuously in sunlight and transmit power in real time to customer satellites, stations, and orbital computing platforms.
Mantis Space aims to let operators reduce or eliminate battery mass by relaying power from sunlit spacecraft to customer spacecraft in eclipse.
Atomic-6’s Light Wing solar arrays and Hot Wing radiators are the cornerstone technologies for a Mantis Space constellation.
Mantis Space and Atomic-6 have formed a preferred vendor partnership to supply solar arrays and thermal management systems for a new orbital power-relay platform.
The Mantis Space orbital power infrastructure model would add an energy utility layer to on-orbit refueling, satellite servicing, and orbital assembly.
Mantis Space emerged from stealth with an oversubscribed seed round of more than $10 million.
Mantis Space is developing controllable orbital platforms intended to redirect solar energy on demand to shaded or energy-constrained locations on Earth.
Mantis Space emerged from stealth with an oversubscribed seed round of more than $10 million.
Montauk Capital participated in Mantis Space’s seed round and incubated the company through its venture studio platform.
Mantis Space is building a constellation of spacecraft that remain almost continuously in sunlight and transmit power to satellites operating in eclipse.
John Sandusky is the chief engineer of Mantis Space.
Jeremy Scheerer is the COO of Mantis Space.
Mantis Space’s orbital power infrastructure is intended to let satellites, space stations, and orbital compute platforms receive power through their solar arrays in real time regardless of position relative to the sun.
Rule 1 Ventures led Mantis Space’s seed round.
Eric Truitt is the CEO of Mantis Space.
Mantis Space plans to develop orbital energy infrastructure designed to eliminate Earth’s shadow as a constraint in space operations.
Mantis Space says orbital power infrastructure can increase mission utilization, extend operational lifetimes, and improve the economic return of satellite systems by 2-3x.
Mantis Space’s founding team includes three U.S. military veterans.
Greg Brady is the director of optical engineering at Mantis Space.
