Summary: TakeMe2Space is building in-orbit data centres to meet the soaring demand for AI compute. Space offers a sustainable and economic solution for this need. Our proprietary radiation shielding material lowers the cost of in-space compute by allowing terrestrial components in satellites. Global users can access these satellites via our space apps, OrbitLab and OrbitView, to run algorithms, use sensors, and control satellite orientation. Our indigenously designed and developed satellite hardware was proven on ISRO's PSLV C-60 through our mission, MOI-TD. We offer our compute and other subsystems developed along the way to the space community including satellite builders and Assembly-Integration-Test (AIT) companies.
