We’re announcing two new partnerships to bring innovative energy generation and storage to our data centers:

1/ 🛰️ Space Solar: Partnering with Overview Energy to beam up to 1 GW of space solar power from orbit to Earth for around the clock power production.

@kirxkirx And now it’s gone from Scout.

@AbeIndoria I think this is too much for me to really dig into quickly. The README was clear.

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@AbeIndoria I love you’re local Abeiverse so much

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

I see you’ve finally succeeded in creating the ultimate human slavery marketplace from the famous sci-fi novel “Don’t create the ultimate human slavery marketplace.”

I launched https://t.co/tNYOm7V5wD last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup.

If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.

[IEEE Spectrum @IEEESpectrum]

Startup @OverviewEnergy has successfully beamed power down to Earth from a moving airplane. Their next step? Beaming #power from space. https://t.co/wKiGIPmy58

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@AbeIndoria Probably an hour? Mostly want to follow your hijinks at the moment.

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@AbeIndoria Any plans to share the code, even if it’s not cleaned up? Would love to explore it

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@ltelkins @blach @orbitalindex Thank you Lindy!

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

Issue 350 of @orbitalindex is the last. @blach and I are feeling ready for something new. Writing weekly for almost 7 years with Ben has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you so much to all of our readers and supporters who made it possible! ❤️🚀

When @anton_brevde and I first heard the Overview Energy story in 2022, we invested b/c we knew if anyone could credibly build Space Based Solar Power systems it was Marc. Excited the team is coming out of stealth today w/ flight demos to showcase the incredible engineering!

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@mpatrickwalton @OverviewEnergy Thank you Patrick!

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

Don’t put the (high CAPEX, rad-intolerant, heat sensitive, hard to cool) data centers in orbit, collect the energy in orbit and send it to the data center on the ground.

Today I’m introducing Overview Energy after 3 years in stealth. We’re developing space energy for Earth using wide-beam, near-infrared lasers in GEO. Our satellites will beam energy to large solar projects on Earth, allowing them to generate power at night and turn solar into a reliable 24/7 resource.

Overview Energy demonstrates technologies for space solar power https://t.co/JuGN6S23PX

[Paul Jaffe @pjaffe]

We’re out of stealth! https://t.co/z2gADYvMxv Our real hardware results show a credible path for the dream of powering the Earth with energy from space. If you are up to the challenge, join our growing world-class team! https://t.co/qeDvKIhqeB @marcberte_ceo @OverviewEnergy

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We've built a full-scale deployable aerobrake unit showcasing technology that uses planetary atmospheres to slow spacecraft, saving significant mass and cost and enabling heavy cargo delivery from the Moon, to Mars, and point-to-point missions on Earth. Lighter and larger than conventional aeroshells, it deploys in space and stows for launch, making it easily configurable to many different vehicles.

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

@JedMcCaleb @vast Hell yes, Vast is in orbit!

[Andrew Cantino @tectonic]

How do you know if someone uses Rust? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

[Speculative Technologies @Spec__Tech]

Applications for the 2026 cohort of the Brains Research Accelerator are now open!
