PROJECT: EVERLIGHT
Laser-Powered Energy for the Solar System
Overview
Project Everlight is Exlumina’s vision for a scalable, orbital energy network that transmits power through space using high-efficiency lasers. Designed to eliminate the need for solar panels and onboard batteries, Everlight delivers continuous energy to satellites, surface stations, and deep-space missions—regardless of shadow, eclipse, or distance from the Sun.
The Problem
Current spacecraft rely on sunlight and battery reserves, limiting their function in eclipses, dark craters, or interplanetary environments. These systems add mass, reduce efficiency, and shorten mission lifespans.
Everlight creates a wireless power grid in orbit.
Hyperion units collect solar energy and convert it to coherent laser beams. Iris nodes relay and redirect those beams across wide distances. EOS receivers transform the laser light back into usable electric power on spacecraft or remote installations. This architecture provides around-the-clock energy anywhere it’s needed in space.
Use Cases
Power delivery to satellites in shadowed orbits; Surface operations on the Moon or Mars; Long-duration missions far from the Sun; Energy transfer across orbital platforms
Technology Readiness
✅ TRL 4: Lab-tested prototype with diode laser and photovoltaic cell 🔄 Next Phase: Ground and airborne testing of high-power systems 🛰️ Upcoming: Orbital demonstration using miniaturized satellite platforms 🎯 Goal: Operational in-space energy transfer system, ready for deployment and scale
Business Model
Usage-Based Billing: Customers pay per kilowatt-hour of energy delivered. Modular Integration: EOS receivers can be fitted onto new or existing spacecraft. Global Scalability: Designed to support expanding orbital and interplanetary infrastructure
