Washington, D.C.— July 21, 2026 —The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) is pleased to welcome Overview Energy, Loft Orbital, and Star Catcher as new associate members — companies advancing space-based energy, streamlining satellite deployment, and expanding in-orbit power capabilities to support the next phase of the commercial space economy.
Overview Energy is building space energy for Earth, turning uninterrupted sunlight in space into directable energy on the grid. Our satellites will collect solar energy 24/7 in geosynchronous orbit and beam it to receivers on the ground—existing and future utility-scale solar projects—as safe near-infrared light. The space solar energy system will be able to shift power across continents in real time based on demand, without changing infrastructure on the ground. Founded in 2022 in Northern Virginia, Overview has already achieved first-of-its-kind power beaming from a moving airborne transmitter and will be heading to LEO in 2028.
“Joining the Commercial Space Federation is an important step in Overview’s mission to make space solar energy a cornerstone of American energy security. We look forward to collaborating with CSF and its members to shape policies that accelerate clean, reliable power from orbit and strengthen US energy resilience.” Marc Berte, Founder & CEO, Overview Energy
