Sophia and Kepler to marry orbital compute with optical links
COLORADO SPRINGS – Sophia Space will begin deploying edge compute nodes on Kepler Communications satellites in late 2026, under a strategic pact announced April 13. Through the partnership, Sophia Space will demonstrate its Orbital Data Center (ODC) software, while relying on Kepler’s optical data relay network “to enable distributed, resilient compute infrastructure in space,” according […] The post Sophia and Kepler to marry orbital compute wi…
Kepler Communications teams up with Sophia Space on orbital computing
Kepler Communications had launched the largest compute cluster currently in orbit in January, and it now boasts of about 40 Nvidia Orin edge processors onboard 10 operational satellites, all linked together by laser communications links. The company now has 18 customers, and announced its newest on Monday — a Sophia Space, a startup that will test the software for its unique orbital computer onboard Kepler’s constellation. This comes amid growin…
Sophia Space and Kepler Sign Agreement to Demo ODC Tech
Orbital data center startup Sophia Space will partner with Kepler Communications to deploy Sophia’s operating system—called SOOS—on Kepler’s distributed in-orbit compute network. The agreement, announced today, is Sophia’s first opportunity to validate its orbital-data-center software in space. If the partnership is successful, Kepler has the opportunity to expand Sophia’s presence in its network, and to offer in-orbit compute services to a broa…
The space sector is entering a new era. Kepler Communications, a Canadian company specializing in orbital infrastructure, has just crossed a decisive course. Its orbital computing cluster — the largest at present operational — now welcomes its first commercial customers. Launched in January, this network of ten satellites connected by laser links ...
