Jeremy Scheerer is co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Mantis Space.
Mantis Space plans to centralize and distribute solar power on orbit by flying satellites with large solar arrays at higher altitudes and using laser beams to send energy to customer satellites flying in Earth's shadow.
MANTIS was the first ESA InCubed satellite, backed by the UK Space Agency.
Open Cosmos celebrated the successful completion of the MANTIS mission.
MANTIS's technologies and processes are now embedded into OpenConstellation, managed by Open Cosmos for global Earth Observation.
MANTIS demonstrated Open Cosmos's ability to deliver end-to-end Earth Observation with AI and optical technology.
MANTIS completed more than 10,000 orbits during its mission.
MANTIS advanced the use of AI in orbit and validated new technologies, processes, and operational models.
MANTIS used advanced optics and AI to transform raw imagery into actionable intelligence in near real time.
MANTIS carried Satlantis's iSIM90 high-resolution camera and a reconfigurable AI processor from Ubotica.
The MANTIS mission was a two-year program that delivered Earth Observation data and set a new benchmark for sustainable space operations.
MANTIS was launched on November 11, 2023, aboard SpaceX's Transporter-9 mission.
MANTIS will safely de-integrate during atmospheric re-entry, leaving no debris behind.
The MANTIS mission delivered critical data for sectors tackling climate, energy, and land management challenges.
MANTIS captured high-resolution daily imagery across half a million square kilometers.
MANTIS acquired and downloaded imagery within just 10 days of launch.
MANTIS's safe and sustainable end-of-life demonstrated responsible satellite design to protect the space environment.
MANTIS was designed with sustainability in mind and is planned to be shut down at an altitude of 300 km.
Rosotics built a 3D printer called Mantis in 2023 that heats feedstock with a magnetic field in the nozzle.
SKY MANTIS 2 can fly on the Infinity Tether for up to 48 hours.
