Cowboy Space Corp., founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt (co-founder of Robinhood), is developing orbital infrastructure designed to power and connect the growing economy in Low Earth Orbit. The company is building satellites that collect sunlight in space and enable a range of capabilities: powering on-orbit compute, transmitting energy via infrared lasers (both space-to-earth and space-to-space), and delivering secure, high-bandwidth optical data. Its vertically integrated approach spans satellite systems, space-based power generation, energy transmission, and optical communications.
The company operates across the space infrastructure, aerospace and defense, energy, and data processing verticals. Its technical work covers satellite systems, infrared laser energy transmission, optical data transmission, and on-orbit compute - areas that sit at the intersection of power and connectivity in space. The team draws from top aerospace and defense organizations, and the company is backed by leading investors.
As a young company pursuing a new category of infrastructure, Cowboy Space Corp. is focused on building the foundational systems needed to support an expanding orbital economy, from energy collection and transmission to secure data processing in Low Earth Orbit.
