Systems Engineer experienced in new technology development

Star Catcher Industries, Inc. (Star Catcher) was founded in 2024 by multiple time successful space entrepreneurs Andrew Rush and Michael Snyder and experienced VC and operator Bryan Lyandvert to eliminate power constraints on satellites and other spacecraft by constructing the Star Catcher Network: the world’s first space-based energy grid. Star Catcher’s proprietary power beaming technology will beam power to other satellites in space as a service, enabling client spacecraft to use their existing solar arrays to receive more power, more consistent power, and higher concentrations of power in order to increase capability and uptime as well as reduce upfront spending and overall mission cost.

Power the future of Space at Star Catcher

Star Catcher is powering the future of space by building the world’s first orbital energy grid: the Star Catcher Network. Spacecraft connect into the Star Catcher Network and receive conditioned energy via their existing solar arrays, requiring no retrofit to utilize the first true space-based infrastructure. The Star Catcher Network provides power as needed from tens of Watts to tens of thousands of Watts at concentrations from fractions of a Sun of flux to ten Suns of flux.

The Star Catcher Network enables More Uptime, More Bandwidth, and More Mission.

Join our team of experienced and passionate space innovators driven to transform and expand humanity’s utilization of space. The creation of space-based power infrastructure is as impactful for space missions in the 2020’s and 2030’s as the advent of low-cost launch services was in the 2010’s. We seek individuals who share our passion for enabling people to do more in space and are not afraid to get their hands dirty to make our vision of the future reality.
