# Sophia Space

> Sophia Space builds orbital AI edge computing infrastructure — solar-powered, space-cooled, AI-ready data centers in low Earth orbit. Its modular TILE architecture (Thermal-Integrated LEO Edge) processes data in space where it is captured, delivering results to customers on the ground faster and with a smaller footprint than downlinking raw data.

Sophia Space is headquartered in Pasadena, California, founded by veterans of NASA JPL, Microsoft, and Intel. The company has raised $22M+ in total funding and partners with Apex, NVIDIA, Armada, Kepler Communications, and Outpost Technologies.
