Space-based solar power is no longer science fiction—it’s happening now. And the implications for defence, energy resilience, and global power dynamics are enormous.

As the race for energy dominance intensifies, traditional terrestrial infrastructure may not be enough to meet the strategic demands of tomorrow’s military and industrial systems. That’s where Space Solar comes in—pioneering new frontiers in how we harvest and beam energy from orbit.

In this episode of Tech Command Investing, we sit down with Sam Adlen, CEO of Space Solar, to explore how this cutting-edge startup is developing game-changing technology to capture solar energy in space and transmit it wirelessly back to Earth. Sam breaks down the mechanics behind the concept, the challenges in scaling, and why this technology could offer an unprecedented tactical advantage—especially in remote or contested environments.

We discuss the global implications of space-based power, how it could redefine supply chain independence, and why governments and defence agencies are already taking notice. Sam also shares insights into investor appetite, deep-tech funding challenges, and how Space Solar is navigating one of the most capital-intensive and high-stakes arenas in the world.

With global tensions rising and energy security becoming a central theme of geopolitics, this episode is essential listening for those tracking the intersection of cleantech, space innovation, and defence strategy.

🎧 Tune in now to understand why space-based solar energy might be the next great leap in dual-use infrastructure.

The battlefield is moving to space, and the biggest challenge is seeing what’s happening in real-time. Traditional satellite tracking and space domain awareness systems are struggling to keep up with the sheer number of objects in orbit and the increasing militarisation of space.

Enter neuromorphic computing - AI that mimics the human brain to process information at lightning speed, using only a fraction of the power and data bandwidth.

In this episode of Tech Command Investing, we sit down with Jonathon Wolfe, CEO of Optera, to discuss why space is now the most contested domain and how AI is revolutionising the way we track, predict, and respond. He explains how neuromorphic sensors provide a significant advantage in satellite security, missile tracking, and autonomous defence. We also examine why traditional space surveillance is failing, how Optera is working to solve this issue, and what investors need to know about the multi-billion-dollar market in neuromorphic AI. Finally, we explore the future of space warfare and whether AI-powered satellites will eventually be able to defend themselves.

With global superpowers racing for space dominance, this conversation is a wake-up call for anyone following the future of defence, AI, and investment in dual-use technology.

What if I told you that satellites—the ones controlling GPS, financial transactions, and even military operations—are some of the most vulnerable assets in modern warfare? In this episode of Tech Command Investing, we pull back the curtain on the hidden cyber battles happening above our heads. I sit down with Mathieu Bailly, VP at Cysec, to uncover the risks and challenges shaping the future of space cybersecurity. Could a cyberattack take down an entire satellite network? (Spoiler: It’s already happened.) How easy is it to hack a satellite, and who’s trying to do it? Are AI and quantum computing about to make cyber warfare in space even more dangerous? With global superpowers racing to secure their space assets, the stakes have never been higher. What happens if they fail? And for investors, where is the real money in space cybersecurity? From LEO constellations like Starlink to post-quantum cyber defences, this episode is a wake-up call for investors, tech leaders, and anyone curious about the next frontier of cybersecurity.
