Mantis Space’s orbital power infrastructure is intended to allow satellites to remain in revenue-generating mission areas instead of chasing sunlight.

Mantis Space aims to build a constellation that continuously generates and transmits solar power to satellites in Earth’s shadow so they can receive power around the clock.

Mantis Space raised $10 million in seed financing as it exited stealth.

Mantis Space emerged from stealth and raised a $10 million seed round of funding.

Mantis Space aims to launch its system in early 2028.

Rule 1 Ventures and Montauk Capital led Mantis Space’s $10 million seed round.

Mantis Space has received approximately $25 million in support from New Mexico and the city of Albuquerque as a combination of cash and tax incentives.

Greg Brady is Chief Optical Engineer at Mantis Space.

Rule 1 Ventures led Mantis Space's seed funding round and the round included funds from Mantis incubator Montauk Capital.

Mantis Space is developing technology to beam solar power from one satellite to another.

Mantis Space's first-iteration payload is expected to have as many as four laser beams per satellite to power multiple customer spacecraft simultaneously.

Mantis Space's beamed energy system uses military-grade lasers and a wavelength optimized for power generation to achieve energy 20% to 30% more efficient than sunlight.

Mantis Space will use the seed funds to complete development of its prototype payload and to grow its workforce.

The $10 million in seed funding will support hiring and go-to-market operations at Mantis Space’s new headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
