Planet Ventures Inc. (CSE: PXI) (OTC: PNXPF) (FSE: P6U) has entered the growing space infrastructure sector with a $200,000 strategic equity investment in Mantis Space, a company developing what it describes as the world's first orbital power grid. This investment reflects Planet Ventures' strategy of providing public market investors with exposure to emerging private companies in high-growth industries. Mantis aims to enable satellites to receive wireless power in orbit, potentially reducing spacecraft size, weight and cost while supporting the expanding space economy.
The move comes as demand for on-orbit services such as refueling, debris removal and shared infrastructure accelerates alongside projected growth in satellite launches, positioning Planet Ventures at the intersection of energy, satellite operations and in-space logistics. According to the press release, the investment is part of a broader trend where companies are seeking to capitalize on the rapidly growing space economy, which includes satellite manufacturing, launch services, and in-space services.
Planet Ventures Inc. is an investment issuer that actively invests in disruptive companies across high-growth industries. The company aims to build long-term shareholder value through strategic investments in innovative businesses. By investing in Mantis, Planet Ventures gains exposure to a technology that could fundamentally alter satellite design and operations, potentially lowering barriers to entry for satellite operators.
The concept of an orbital power grid involves using satellites equipped with power-beaming technology to transmit energy wirelessly to other spacecraft. This could eliminate the need for large solar panels and heavy batteries on satellites, allowing for smaller, cheaper, and more agile spacecraft. Additionally, it could enable continuous operation without the limitations of eclipse periods, and provide power for propulsion or other high-energy activities.
Mantis Space's development of this technology aligns with the increasing congestion in low Earth orbit and the need for sustainable space operations. The ability to refuel or recharge satellites in orbit could extend their operational lifetimes, reduce space debris by facilitating deorbiting, and create new business models for satellite servicing.
