Pulse Space is developing a laser-based space power infrastructure designed to provide remote, on-demand power for satellites operating in low Earth orbit (LEO). As satellite deployments continue to grow and onboard solar arrays and batteries face increasing power limitations, the company aims to build what it describes as the "power grid for space," enabling energy to be generated, transmitted and delivered wirelessly across orbit. The technology is intended to support commercial, civil and defence missions requiring continuous, flexible and scalable power availability.

At the core of Pulse Space's solution is a directed-energy laser power transmission system that collects energy, converts it into a high-efficiency laser beam and wirelessly delivers usable power to spacecraft when and where it is needed. The company positions laser transmission as an efficient alternative to traditional onboard power generation methods, allowing satellites to access additional power without carrying larger batteries or deploying larger solar arrays. The approach is designed to address the rapidly increasing power demands expected from the next generation of satellite constellations.

Pulse Space's flagship product, Boost, is designed to deliver 30 kW of transmitted power across distances of up to 1,000 km, providing approximately 20 kW of usable power through a 3 m² receiver. Engineered for 24/7/365 operation anywhere in LEO, the system enables satellites to receive power remotely, extending mission capabilities without requiring additional onboard energy storage or dedicated propulsion resources.

The company's power architecture is designed around three core stages: collecting abundant solar energy in orbit, converting that energy into a tightly focused, high-efficiency laser beam and precisely redirecting it to satellites that require additional power. This enables space-to-space energy transfer while laying the foundation for future ground-to-orbit power delivery. The system is intended to improve mission flexibility, increase spacecraft operational endurance and support power-intensive payloads across a wide range of orbital missions.

Beyond wireless power delivery, Pulse Space is expanding its orbital infrastructure to support space situational awareness and sustainable space operations. The company is developing capabilities for persistent tracking and characterization of space objects to improve operational awareness, assist satellite maneuvering and docking and help mitigate orbital debris risks. Together with its power transmission technology, these services are intended to support safer, more resilient and more efficient operations throughout low Earth orbit.

By combining laser-based power transmission, scalable orbital energy distribution and space situational awareness capabilities, Pulse Space is developing infrastructure for the next generation of space operations. Its technologies are designed to provide continuous, on-demand power while supporting the growing demands of satellite constellations, commercial space stations, defence missions and future in-space services.
