Next launch — Titan · SpaceX Transporter-19 · Q1 2027
Radiation-resilient computers — from edge modules to multi-node supercomputers or space data centers — and the software and compute services to run them.
The problem
Every orbit, sensors generate far more data than ground stations can receive. Raw imagery waits hours for a line-of-sight pass; insights arrive late, or never. Meanwhile AI workloads on Earth are hitting power, cooling and permitting limits.
Aethero moves the computer to the data. We put data-center-class GPUs on the spacecraft, harden them against radiation through system design rather than exotic silicon, and run containerized workloads on them with the same tooling teams already use on the ground. The result: decisions at the moment of capture, and a fraction of the bits to downlink.

Where we are going
The same NxA card scales through the Space Data Center architecture — 16 cards to a node, 14 nodes to a rack, up to 896,000 TFLOPS per rack — on any bus with the power and thermal budget to host it.
What we build
Buy a module, fly a platform, run our software, or rent compute on our constellation. Every layer is designed together and flown together.
Space-rated edge computers from 0.5U to 2U, and Space Data Center systems that pool the same cards into nodes and racks. Radiation-hardened by system design.
Compute-first spacecraft from CubeSat to ESPA-class, built with partner buses and flown by Aethero. Two on orbit, Titan next.
Fleet management and over-the-air updates, model annotation, training and deployment, and the flight operating systems underneath it all.
Compute- and platform-as-a-service on orbit. Run containers on shared Altus capacity or lease a dedicated compute spacecraft.
TRL-9 · FlownThe 0.5U module that flew on Deimos and Phobos. Interchangeable NX or Nano SoM, rad-hard watchdog co-processor, expansion ecosystem for PC-104, PCIe, FPGA, SDR and OBC.
TRL-8 · Titan, Transporter-19Data-center-class compute in a 2U envelope. Dual compute cards (hybrid Thor + Orin optional), RAID-capable storage, Kubernetes clustering for distributed orbital computing.
Our approach
Traditional rad-hard processors trail commercial silicon by a decade and cost orders of magnitude more. Aethero takes the opposite path: the latest NVIDIA, Intel and AMD silicon, protected by an architecture built to expect and survive upsets.
Flight heritage
Every product is space-qualified through stringent environmental testing, then proven on orbit before it ships to customers.
First space-rated edge computer to reach 100 TOPS and the first to fly a COTS NVIDIA Jetson Orin SoC. 18-month mission validating OTA updates, onboard inference and edge training under tight power and bandwidth.
4U Earth-observation platform running the NxN-ECM in Super Mode at up to 157 TOPS, 24/7. Hosts multiple software customers as containerized applications — the first commercial proof of Aethero's compute-as-a-service model.
Aethero's most advanced deployment: next-generation NxA-ECMs on an EnduroSat FRAME-15 ESPA-class bus, clustered to 16,000 TFLOPS.
Capacity on orbit

Compute where the data is captured. Downlink answers, not archives — and rent capacity on the constellation instead of flying your own.
