Our Products
The Sophia TILE architecture–Thermal Integrated LEO Edge–unifies power, compute, and thermal management. Every watt is driven into compute. Every unit of heat is radiated at the point of generation. TILEs scaleforming resilient, distributed systems connected by secure networking and intelligent, fail-safe routing. The result is a modular, edge compute fabric, engineered for the realities of space.

Why Now?
Why Now?
The rapid increase in satellite deployments, private space stations, and commercial space activity is driving unprecedented demand for in-orbit compute.
As more data is generated in space, processing it locally—rather than sending everything back to Earth—is essential for speed, efficiency, and scalability.
