Aetherflux
Develops space-based solar power satellites that collect sunlight in low Earth orbit and transmit energy to portable ground receivers via infrared lasers
About
Aetherflux develops space-based solar power infrastructure that collects sunlight via satellites in low Earth orbit and transmits it to Earth through infrared lasers. The company uses constellations of small satellites rather than large geostationary structures, enabling compact portable ground receivers for power delivery. Initial applications target the U.S. Department of Defense, providing on-demand energy to military operations in contested or remote environments. Additional use cases include disaster relief and power delivery to remote regions lacking traditional infrastructure. The company is also developing the Galactic Brain project, an orbital data center satellite that leverages space-based solar power for in-orbit compute workloads, targeting commercial operation by Q1 2027. Founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood, Aetherflux has raised approximately $60 million in funding and is headquartered in San Carlos, California.
