Compute Servers in Space
Transform your satellite capabilities with advanced data processing technologies.
Philosophy
Why building orbiting servers?
A new era of space is booming with a significant increase in the number of spacecraft launched per month, creating new needs on the ground and in space.
More satellites in orbit means more data production and more processing capacity needed.
Instead of wasting power, weight and time to downlink satellite data, processing it in orbit will unlock new in situ value production and significantly increase the autonomy of spacecraft systems.
This should be as easy as on the ground, like creating a processing pipeline on a cloud computing platform, but in our case, from space.
Our Services
Unlock more valuable insights from your data while elevating your satellites’ autonomy.
From functional and radiation-hardened data chain design to the development of high-performance compute units, we offer end-to-end support tailored to your mission’s success. We aim to bring innovation to space by step-by-step designing solutions for in-orbit server applications.

A use case to understand our goal
How our solution will change the way we use satellite data ?
The current way
When a satellite takes a picture of a region of interest, it has to wait up to hours to be in visibility of a ground station and downlink the data. The data will go through the operator’s processing chain and be sent to the data users. Depending on what is observed, the operators and end users can schedule new picture acquisition telecommands that will be executed when the satellite is above the region of interest again.
Our approach
When a satellite takes a picture of a region of interest, it can send the data to one of our orbiting satellites, forming a network of servers. Our system, composed of novel computing units, will process directly in-orbit and based on what is observed, can order new picture acquisition while forwarding the data to other interconnected satellites and finally to the ground. The operators can then analyse the data and alert the data users while new data are coming.
