Ride the terminator.
A dawn–dusk orbit, Earth's shadow and the sunlight a spacecraft receives through the year.

Explore the physics.
Check the numbers.
Our models of orbits, power and heat, formation flying, the path of a request, costs and radiation are public and interactive, with their methods and limits on each page. Detailed engineering material is shared directly with partners.
Interactive models.
Size a node.
Solar arrays, battery and radiators for a chosen orbit, compute power and technology year.
Fly a cluster.
Nodes in free fall, a node that fails and the way each node leaves orbit at the end of its life.
Follow a request.
A question about a place on Earth, the contacts and passes it waits for, and the answer computed on board.
Price a GPU-hour.
Launch and satellite costs year by year to 2045 against the ground, and how big each node should be.
Fly through the belts.
The South Atlantic Anomaly, cosmic rays and a great solar storm, and what they mean for the chips on board.
Choose the cluster.
A thousand one-megawatt designs flown through the simulation, and why ours is tilted, at 650 km, in 100 kW nodes.
Continue the conversation.
A task worth testing.
Bring a workload, data and mission constraints to a design-partner discussion.
Room for a compact payload.
Talk to us about hosting SI-P1: about 5 kg, 28 V and conduction cooling through the host.
Help build the first mission.
We are seeking a technical cofounder and expertise in flight software and payload qualification.
