About
Starcloud’s long-term roadmap envisions a gigawatt-scale orbital data center constellation, a large-scale network of satellites carrying GPU compute payloads powered by space-based solar arrays. This vision is reflected in FCC filings covering satellite deployments at a scale of up to 88,000 units, indicating the scope of Starcloud’s ambitions to build orbital infrastructure capable of meeting a meaningful share of global AI compute demand. The roadmap follows the Starcloud-1 and Starcloud-2 missions, representing the maturation of the company’s orbital data center concept from single-satellite technology demonstration to planet-scale compute infrastructure.
