high machines
Impossible. But doable.
Orbital AI data centres. From Europe, for Europe.
European space AI enabling Europe’s AI future
A fleet of AI-hosting satellites. Fully under European control.
European independence
Compute Europe actually controls.
Workload, keys, and downlink stay under European jurisdiction. Built here, operated here — not a foreign cloud region in the sky.
From Europe, for Europe
The first AI continent needs its own sky.
US and China are racing an orbital build-out. Europe’s grid, land, and permits cannot host GW-class AI. Space is how European models stay European.
Unlimited scale in space
One satellite. One node. Then more.
Continuous solar, heat radiated into deep space, no grid queue. LEO for low-latency inference. Sun–Earth L1 when training needs uninterrupted power. Capacity grows with every launch.
The grid cannot host it
~35 GW demand. ~17 GW supply.
Europe’s data-centre load roughly doubles this decade. The grid cannot. FLAP-D queues run 7–10 years. The leftover gigawatts are not a forecast error — they are the market.
Own the hardware
SaaS is a commodity. The GPU in orbit is not.
Software gets cheaper. The scarce asset is powered, cooled, sovereign compute that does not come down when the next chip lands. One satellite is one node that keeps earning.
Compute does not saturate
AI using AI using AI.
Every user and every use-case pulls in more models, more agents, more swarms. Tokens are not shared — more capability means more GPUs on the bus, and that hardware is brutally energy-hungry. We go where energy is not a problem.
Use cases
Defence
Secure processing and space-domain awareness that never leaves the spacecraft.
Earth observation
Edge AI on the sensor feed — inference at the satellite, not in a foreign region.
Industry
Overflow for European data centres when terrestrial power and permits run out.
Research
Large-scale training when L1 offers undisrupted solar for long-horizon compute.
Three phases
Phase 1
Demonstrator
European Endurosat FAME S bus and one AI GPU. Sun-synchronous orbit for continuous sunlight.
Phase 2
Space AI data centre
Full orbital build-out on ~150 kW NVLink72 compute nodes, still in SSO. Inter-satellite routing — and worldwide satellite internet, because the AI fleet needs global access anyway.
Phase 3
Around the sun
Build-out in solar orbit, focused on Sun–Earth L1.
