Hyderabad-based startup TakeMe2Space is set to launch India’s first orbital data centre mission aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 in 2028. The mission, part of the Waymaker 2 rideshare, involves deploying two 100-kg MOI (My Orbital Infrastructure) constellation satellites, which aim to enable computing infrastructure in space. The satellites will generate about 1.5 kW of power and carry 10 Nvidia Thor GPUs along with 100 terabytes of storage.
Optical inter-satellite links will allow the satellites to share workloads and data, marking India’s first planned mission to network computing capabilities across multiple spacecraft. TakeMe2Space’s earlier MOI-TD technology demonstrator mission, launched in December 2024, conducted over 20 experiments in low Earth orbit before the loss of its MOI-1 satellite during the PSLV-C62 launch failure in January 2026.
The upcoming missions are designed to demonstrate high-performance computing in orbit, potentially reducing reliance on transmitting large volumes of raw satellite data to ground stations.
