Intelligence Maximized
Orbital Edge Computing brings analytics to satellites, converting raw data into insights. The process flows from the Sensor to Onboard compute and a Model container to produce the final Insight packet.

Military and Defense Operations
Orbital Edge Computing (OEC) provides continuous, hyperlocal nowcasts to improve sensor-to-shooter timing, use weather for stealth, and maintain command resilience.
Sensors analyze and collect the scene
Imagers and sounder data along with exact location and timing. Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) show different layers in detail, while those in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) provide steady, nonstop watch.
Onboard compute clean & detect
Smart onboard AI uses special chips to spot clouds, check data quality, and filter out unnecessary info. It keeps only the important areas to shrink the data size.
Model
Collect info about temperature, moisture, air quality, and clouds. Predict how well sensors can see and how far they can spot.
Insight packet
Make a small file with location, time, data, and source info. Then shrink it, lock it, and send.
Results
Higher hit-rate for ISR and weapon employment windows. Fewer surprises from rain fade or onospheric scintillation.
Efficient Skies
Sophia Space Tiles send real-time hazard alerts (like turbulence)
to air traffic tools, helping planes reroute safely, reducing delays,
and increasing capacity.
Sensors capture the atmosphere
Multi-band imagery and soundings drive hazard detection
and nowcasts.
Onboard computer detects hazards
Sophia Space Tiles help spot turbulence, ice buildup, and growing storms.
Model
Turn detections into clear, easy-to-use airspace
rules with confidence levels.
Insights delivered
Storm risks delivered to air traffic systems, airline operations, and
cockpit apps.
Results
Precise weather data delivered to controllers, airlines, and pilots for
safer, smoother, more fuel-efficient flights.
Cryosphere Science
Space Tile AI quickly identifies ice features and monitors glacier movement,
delivering ready-to-use data to improve sea-level rise predictions.
Sensors monitor all-weather, all-season inputs
Radar images ice and snow through all weather. Optical and thermal sensors show surface detail and temperature in sunlight. Lasers and radar measure ice thickness and elevation when available.
Onboard compute — triaged & cleaned
Detecting clouds in optical images. Reducing noise. Finding changes.
Model: characterize ice state
Identify sea ice, open water, ponds, and cracks by combining satellite bands. Track surface patterns to measure ice movement, and estimate
brightness and heat properties for use in climate models.
Insight delivered
Deliver maps of ice edges and cracks, ice movement patterns, and event
alerts with size estimates; complete with confidence levels, data sources,
and secure transmission.
Results
Faster, more accurate ice and hazard updates. Improved safety for polar
operations. Clearer insights.
