THE ORBITAL SOLUTION
By moving warehouse-scale data centers to orbit, Sophia Space Tiles harness clean solar power and radiate heat into space, eliminating land and water cooling needs.
THE ORBITAL SOLUTION
By moving warehouse-scale data centers to orbit, Sophia Space Tiles harness clean solar power and radiate heat into space, eliminating land and water cooling needs.
Unlimited Solar Power
The modular constellation is placed in a sun-synchronous orbit at ~1,00 km. Each module has large solar arrays that generate all the power it needs.
Zero-Water Cooling
Cooling is achieved by radiating heat directly into space, eliminating the need for water as a cooling medium. As a result, the operational water usage of an Orbital Data Centers is virtually zero.
Modular Constellation
Modules communicate wirelessly with each other to maintain their positions in space and use low Earth orbit (LEO) relay satellites to transmit data back to Earth.
No On-Orbit Assembly
Each module is a self-contained spacecraft that uses its own propulsion to fly from its launch drop-off point to its final position.
Easy Replacement
Failed or outdated modules can deorbit themselves, with a new module flying into the vacated spot.

BREAKING DOWN THE PROBLEM
Surging data demands are consuming water, land, and energy. Earth can’t sustain that growth alone. Space is key.
Energy Use
Global electricity demand from data centers is set to more than double by 2030, according to the IAE.
56% Fossil Fuels
100% Solar
Freshwater Used
Cooling massive server farms is a water-intensive process that strains local freshwater supplies.
Up to 5 Million Gallons
per day for large data centers

CO2 Emissions (during operation)
Data center emissions are projected to swell to 2.5 billion metric tons of CO2 by 2030, driven by AI and cloud computing growth.
The launch phase and end-of-life deorbiting or hardware disposal contributes limited lifecycle emissions

Not accounting for emissions from launches, manufacturing, & decommissioning
Land used
Large data centers take 6–10 months to build, and cost $7–12 million per megawatt of IT capacity.
200+ Acres
Hyperscale data centers often require between 200-500 acres per data center
