- Founded by Politecnico di Torino engineers Andrea Villa (CEO), Anna Mauro (CTO), Domenico Edoardo Sfasciamuro (CCO) and Francesco Lopez (COO), ORiS is developing an in-orbit energy distribution grid using laser-based wireless power transmission to provide satellites with additional energy directly in orbit.
As satellite capabilities continue to grow, so do their energy requirements.
- ORiS' vision is to support the disruptive growth of the space economy by reshaping the standard for how satellites are designed and operated.
We want to optimize satellites for high performance and profitability.
- Beyond drones and satellites, ORiS is also exploring lunar applications, including wireless power transmission for surface assets such as rovers.
The company has already completed a feasibility study on the concept for Thales Alenia Space.

As satellite capabilities continue to grow, so do their energy requirements. ORiS' technology is designed to address this challenge by enabling on-demand power delivery in orbit. For satellites already in operation, this could increase payload availability, support operations during eclipse periods and extend mission lifetimes as solar panels degrade.
