ORBITAL DATA-CENTRE INFRASTRUCTURE

A new class of
compute infrastructure,
engineered for orbit.

Earth's data-centre bottlenecks are intensifying. Power, heat, land, and water are becoming first-order constraints in the age of AI. Inorbii is building orbital compute infrastructure to address that problem at its root.

A cinematic, narrated walkthrough of Inorbii: why Earth's data-centre infrastructure is hitting a physical ceiling, how orbit changes the trade space, what we're building, and what we're raising.

THE CONSTRAINT

Computing demand is outgrowing
the assumptions of terrestrial
infrastructure.

AI-scale compute is colliding with physical limits on Earth — the availability of power, the cost of cooling, the permitting load on land, and the strain on local grids and water systems. These limits are not marketing narrative. They are engineering ceilings.

WHY ORBIT

Some constraints are easier to
reason about above the atmosphere.

Space is not a free lunch. It is a different trade space. For specific compute workloads, that trade space may become economically and technically meaningful over time.

Near-continuous solar exposure

Well-chosen orbits receive sunlight for most of the duty cycle, enabling on-station photovoltaic generation without the intermittency profile of terrestrial solar.

Radiative heat rejection

Waste heat is engineered away through radiator fields into the cold background of space — no evaporative water loops, no local heat-island effect.

Reduced terrestrial footprint

Compute in orbit reduces pressure on land, permitting, zoning, and community infrastructure where capacity is scarce or politically constrained.

Modular compute architecture

Payloads can be designed as serviceable, replaceable units — sized to launch vehicles, with redundancy and graceful degradation baked into the platform.

Latency-tolerant workloads

Training runs, batch inference, scientific simulation, and archival compute tolerate propagation delays that real-time systems do not.

New infrastructure layer

Not a replacement for Earth data centres. An additional tier — purpose-built for compute that benefits from orbital characteristics.

SYSTEM VIEW

One payload.
Three subsystems.
One thesis.

Solar generation, compute payload, and radiative cooling — engineered as a single, modular platform. The system is deployed in low-Earth orbit, operated from the ground, and designed for incremental upgrade over time.

THERMAL FLOW

Cooling in space is not free. It is engineered.

There is no air in orbit to convect heat away. The only path is radiation — which means large, well-oriented, emissive surfaces designed to reject heat at specific wavelengths. Thermal engineering is at the center of the platform, not a footnote.

ENGINEERING REALISM

We are serious about the problems space doesn't solve.

Orbital compute is not a replacement for Earth-based data centres any time soon. Launch economics, radiation exposure, servicing complexity, latency, and debris risk are real constraints that shape what is viable and when.

Launch economics

Cost-per-kilogram is falling, but still constrains early deployment to high-value compute.

Radiation & reliability

Silicon in orbit is exposed to ionizing radiation. Shielding, redundancy, and rad-hard design are core to the platform.

Servicing

In-orbit repair is expensive and immature. Modularity and graceful degradation take priority over single-unit longevity.

Latency

Orbital compute is not the right home for low-latency user traffic. It is well-suited to training, batch, and scientific workloads.
