This letter presents a framework for space-to-ground wireless energy transfer (WET) for wirelessly chargeable devices (WCD) located in remote areas or disaster situations. We consider a grid of multi-antenna satellites that charge a WCD within line-of-sight. Closed-form expressions for harvested energy are derived considering maximum ratio transmission (MRT) ensuring that the WCD meets its circuit charging threshold Pth. Simulations elucidate that milli-joule-level energy can be harvested during satellite grid visibility, with charging efficiency influenced by the number of satellites, their altitude, charging frequency, and grid inclination.
