About
Compute as a Service is Xplore’s orbital edge-computing offering, letting customers deploy software-defined payloads directly on the spacecraft to create data-fusion products, extract insights on-orbit, perform data reduction, and run other custom processing rather than downlinking raw sensor data. The satellites run a custom on-board computing environment on a Linux/ARM architecture that supports containerized software payloads, so customers can send processed insights instead of raw imagery, cutting both latency and transmission volume. Listed use cases include data fusion, object identification, AIS analysis, anomaly detection, cloud detection, compression/data reduction/encryption, and custom AI/ML applications.
