The space data centre, layer by layer

A sovereignty-first architecture for space-based intelligence: every layer, from the sensor to the data owner, is designed together, and every layer is modelled in the digital twin.

The stack, top to bottom

Five layers, one system

Sovereign data platformData stays under its owner's jurisdiction, end to end
Orbital edge processingAI inference where the data is captured
Heterogeneous computeCPUs, accelerators and hybrid quantum-classical computing
Sensors and linksMulti-modal Earth observation, inter-satellite and ground links

Sovereignty first

Who owns the data, where it may travel and who may process it are design inputs, not afterthoughts.

Edge AI in orbit

Models run beside the sensors, so the stack sends decisions and evidence instead of raw volume.

Heterogeneous compute

Different workloads get different hardware, including hybrid quantum-classical paths where they pay off.

Assured operations

An agent layer watches the platform, with security and compliance designed in, not bolted on.

Connected to the digital twin

Every layer has a model

Power, thermal, compute and network limits interact in orbit. The digital twin couples them, so a change to one layer is checked against all the others before it is built.

Connected Wildfire detection runs on the technology stack, which the digital twin models end to end.
