Mantis Space is developing a constellation of spacecraft that remain nearly perpetually in sunlight and transmit power to satellites while they are in Earth’s shadow, allowing customer satellites, space stations, and orbital compute platforms to operate at full capacity regardless of their position relative to the Sun. By removing the need for satellites to chase sunlight, the company claims it can boost mission utilization and economic return by 2-3×. The Albuquerque-based startup positions its service as foundational infrastructure for the next wave of space activity, including orbital data centers and persistent intelligence systems that demand uninterrupted, high-density power. Mantis Space emerged from stealth with an executive team that includes veterans from BlueHalo, Terran Orbital, Sandia National Laboratories, Apple’s Face ID program, and Google’s MicroLED effort. The company plans to use its initial capital to expand hiring and build out go-to-market operations from its New Mexico headquarters. Financial details beyond its recent seed round were not disclosed, and the company has not yet released revenue or user metrics.
