Aetherflux, backed by Robinhood co-founder, plans a 2025-2026 satellite demonstration mission for space-based solar power transmission to Earth.

Aetherflux, a startup founded by Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt, aims to harness space-based solar power by deploying a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit. These satellites will convert solar energy into infrared laser beams for transmission to Earth. A demonstration mission is planned for late 2025 or early 2026. Aetherflux seeks to provide renewable energy, particularly to hard-to-reach areas, potentially revolutionizing energy distribution.
