## Key figures

- MOI-1A compute: 117 TOPS (company claim). Sources: [TakeMe2Space](https://www.tm2.space/missions)
- Customers signed: 23 customers (company claim). Sources: [TakeMe2Space](https://www.tm2.space/missions)

## Approach

- Orbit: LEO SSO (about 500 km planned for 2028 pair)
- Architecture: My Orbital Infrastructure (MOI): small satellites selling in-orbit AI inference; customers upload models that run on NVIDIA edge GPUs against onboard imagery
- Power: MOI-1A: 120 W peak power budget
- Cooling: Not disclosed
- Compute: MOI-1A: Jetson Orin NX, 117 TOPS, 2 TB. Planned 2028 satellites: NVIDIA Thor, 100 TB
- Customers: 23 customers signed for in-orbit inference (company)
