POWER WAITING FOR CONNECTION
Generation and storage capacity waiting in U.S. interconnection queues at the end of 2025. Not all of it is expected to be built.
ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE BEYOND THE GRID
MAKE POWER
ABUNDANT.
EVERYWHERE.
MUSEN is developing a laser power network that connects surplus terrestrial electricity to ships, aircraft, and demand centers through low Earth orbit. Our initial applications are aircraft and high-altitude platforms (HAPS).
THE END STATE
POST-SCARCITYDOES NOT RUNWITHOUT ENERGY.
As AI, robotics, electric transport, and manufacturing scale, civilization is constrained by the amount of usable energy it can access. MUSEN is developing a laser power network to deliver abundant energy wherever it is needed.
INITIAL APPLICATIONS / AVIATION & HAPS
POWER THE
CRUISE.
One of the main constraints on long-range electric aviation is the battery mass required to carry cruise energy. Above the clouds, power can be delivered from low Earth orbit while onboard storage remains for takeoff, landing, route handover, safe shutdown, and reserve.
Solar-powered high-altitude platforms (HAPS) are another early application. Short winter days and long nights make the weight of batteries for overnight flight a major constraint. We will develop laser power delivery to reduce that burden.

AVIATION & HAPSENERGY DELIVERY / EARTH
BEAM POWER
THROUGH ORBIT.
Move surplus generation from where it is abundant to cities, factories, and data centers where power is scarce. A multi-hop laser route through a low-Earth-orbit satellite network is not constrained by the geography or construction timeline of transmission lines.
HOW IT WORKSWHY A NEW EARTH POWER ROUTE
POWER EXISTS.
THE ROUTE DOES NOT.
The best places to generate power are often far from the cities, factories, and data centers that need it most. New generation cannot serve demand if grid interconnection and transmission construction cannot keep pace.
REQUEST TO OPERATION
For projects that began operating in 2025, the median time from interconnection request to commercial operation exceeded five years.
CAPACITY REACHING OPERATION
Share of capacity that entered U.S. interconnection queues from 2000–2020 and had reached commercial operation by the end of 2025.
OUR RESPONSE / INITIAL DEPLOYMENT TARGET / NOT YET DEMONSTRATED
Wherever the required land, equipment, safety measures, and permits are secured, our wireless power system targets same-day energization.
ENERGY DELIVERY / MARITIME
POWER AT SEA.
MORE RANGE.
Electric ferries and cargo ships are already in service. Longer voyages demand more battery mass and space. Laser power delivery to electric ships remains an application we will develop, aiming to extend range while preserving room for cargo.
SEAWATER COOLING
Use the surrounding sea as a heat sink for the receiver through a separate cooling circuit.
ROOM FOR RECEIVERS
Larger vessels offer space for bigger receivers and cooling equipment, easing the mass and packaging constraints of flight.
A MOVING TEST PLATFORM
Bring tracking, power conversion, and onboard supply together to deliver useful power to a moving vessel.
FOUNDING TEAM / RECRUITING NOW
YOU DO NOT NEED
TO KNOW ALL OF IT.
You only need deep, hands-on experience with one hard boundary: high-power CW sources, space optics and PAT, dynamic routing, photovoltaic conversion, or power electronics. We are assembling a founding team from people who have built and measured real systems.
SEE EXACTLY WHO WE NEED01
LASER SOURCE & TRANSMITTER
You have designed or measured at least one of these in hardware: CW optical output, WPE, M²/BPP, thermal behavior, or source arrays.
OPEN INTERVIEW EMAIL ↗02OPTICAL RELAY & N×N CONTROL
You have implemented acquisition and tracking of moving targets, wavefront control, inter-satellite optical paths, or route handover.
OPEN INTERVIEW EMAIL ↗03RECEIVER & POWER CONVERSION
You have built the path from laser capture through MPPT, power conversion, thermal rejection, and useful load output.

ORGANIZATIONS CAN BUILD WITH US, TOO.
We also work directly with organizations that can provide evaluation hardware, test facilities, co-development, or manufacturing capacity.
