PowerLight Technologies
Kent, WA laser power-beaming pioneer (ex-LaserMotive) funded largely by non-dilutive defense R&D; in Dec 2025 it delivered laser power to a fielded military UAS in flight - an industry first - under the CENTCOM-sponsored PTROL-UAS program. Terrestrial and airborne today, but its laser links are the same building blocks space power beaming needs.

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.
