Overview Energy
Northern Virginia startup spun out of Jed McCaleb's Vast (which retains a stake), beaming wide-beam near-infrared laser power from GEO onto existing terrestrial solar farms so they generate at night. Holds the vertical's marquee commercial deal: an early-access agreement giving Meta up to 1 GW of capacity by around 2030.

METHODOLOGY
Launch history and subsystem outcomes aggregate from AstraVeris's launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower bounds on success rates. ARI scores come from the 11-factor composite (/finance/methodology/). Constellation counts derive from the live CelesTrak/GCAT object catalog. Gov contracts from USAspending.gov awards; private deals from deduplicated pipeline deal extraction. Absence of a row means "not tracked" — we never fabricate. See /methodology/ for the full data model and /data-licensing/ for licensing terms.
