    Darko Filipi, Vice President of Space Systems at Overview Energy

    In this episode of Behind the Orbit, we speak with Darko Filipi, VP of Space Systems at Overview Energy, a company building the next generation of space-based energy infrastructure. Darko shares his journey from astrophysics and spacecraft engineering to working on some of the most ambitious space systems ever conceived, including CubeSats, human spaceflight systems, and large-scale commercial satellite networks. We explore how space is rapidly evolving from a government-led research domain into a commercial infrastructure layer powering Earth. Darko breaks down Overview Energy’s mission to beam safe, near-infrared energy from space to the grid, and what it takes to engineer systems at kilometre scale under extreme constraints. Along the way, we dive into leadership in high-performance engineering teams, the importance of ownership and execution culture, and why the future of space is less about science fiction and more about industrial-scale systems thinking.
