Star Catcher to attempt first energy beaming between spacecraft

Startup Star Catcher is preparing to launch a system designed to beam energy between two separate spacecraft, which would be a historic first if it works. The company aims to demonstrate wireless power transfer in orbit, a capability that could eventually allow satellites to share energy and extend mission lifetimes. The project is drawing attention as a notable step for space-based power infrastructure.
Why now: A successful demonstration would mark the first time energy is beamed between two spacecraft, a milestone in space technology.
