Indian space startup TakeMe2Space plans to launch what it describes as ‌the country's first orbital computing satellite aboard a SpaceX rocket on October 1, seeking to process data in orbit rather than transmit raw information back to Earth.

TakeMe2Space, SatLeo Labs and EON Space Labs put AI, thermal imaging and Earth-observation technologies in orbit aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9.

Orbital computing satellite MOI-1A by TakeMe2Space launches on SpaceX Transporter-18, deploying Nvidia Orin AI hardware to process orbital data in space.

COLORADO SPRINGS – After announcing a $5 million seed round in January, Indian startup TakeMe2Space seeks to raise $55 million to establish a 50-kilowatt orbital data center. “What is key for us is to demonstrate that we can play the orbital data center game globally,” TakeMe2Space founder Ronak Kumar Samantray told SpaceNews. “There's a lot of liquidity around 50- to 100-kilowatt compute scale, because that's what will become the building block for a gigawatt orbital data center.”

TakeMe2Space will fly India's first orbital computing satellite, MOI-1A, on a SpaceX rideshare on October 1 to run AI inference in orbit.

Indian startup TakeMe2Space will fly its MOI-1A satellite, with Nvidia chips and 23 customers, on SpaceX’s Transporter-18 rideshare on 1 October.

This milestone in orbital computing could revolutionize data processing efficiency, impacting industries from agriculture to education globally. The post TakeMe2Space to launch India’s first orbital computing satellite on SpaceX rocket appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

Three Indian space startups have sent their latest technology demonstrations into orbit aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 as part of the Transporter-18 rideshare mission, marking another step forward for India’s growing private space sector. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 11:48 pm IST, carrying around 130 payloads to orbit. Among them were missions from Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space and TakeMe2Space, along with Ahmedabad-based SatLeo Labs. The three missions are aimed at testing different technologies, which include hosted payload platforms, thermal imaging and artificial intelligence-powered computing in orbit. WATCH FALCON-9 LAUNCH WITH THREE INDIAN PAYLOADS TO SPACE DHRUVA SPACE’S LEAP-2 Dhruva Space’s LEAP-2 is part of its Launching Expeditions for Aspiring Payloads programme, which provides hosted-payload opportunities using the company’s P-30 satellite platform. SpaceX listed Dhruva Space's LEAP-2 on its official Transporter-18 manifest, with deployment scheduled roughly 58 minutes after liftoff. The mission is also carrying France’s Sodern HORUS star tracker for an in-orbit demonstration. One of the payloads hosted on LEAP-2 is SatLeo Labs’ TAPAS-1, making the mission particularly significant for India’s commercial Earth-observation sector. SATLEO’S THERMAL EYE TO CHECK EARTH'S FEVER TAPAS-1 is a roughly 3-kg CubeSat-category thermal payload that uses long-wave infrared sensing...

The startup’s next step is launching two fully operational satellites this year, with an ambition to build in-orbit computing.

COLORADO SPRINGS – After announcing a $5 million seed round in January, Indian startup TakeMe2Space seeks to raise $55 million to establish a 50-kilowatt orbital data center. “What is key for us is to demonstrate that we can play the orbital data center game globally,” TakeMe2Space founder Ronak Kumar Samantray told SpaceNews. “There’s a lot of liquidity around 50- to 100-kilowatt compute scale, because that’s what will become the building block for a gigawatt orbital data center.” Samantray established TakeMe2Space after his previous software-as-a-service startup NowFloats Technologies was acquired in 2019 by Reliance Industries. Before founding TakeMe2Space in late 2024, Samantray and colleagues performed spaceflight testing on a proprietary material to protect GPUs from solar radiation. TakeMe2Space sent its first satellite aloft in December 2024 on India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The one-unit cubesat, called My Orbital Infrastructure-Tech Demonstration, provided flight heritage for the startup’s onboard computer, edge processor and attitude determination and control system, while remaining attached to PSLV’s fourth stage. “Three customers uploaded their AI model, did inferencing and got the results,” Samantray said. Tiered Approach In October, TakeMe2Space will launch a six-unit cubesat equipped with an Nvidia Jetson module on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare. Customers...
