A constellation of solar-powered satellites providing AI inference and general-purpose computing services from low Earth orbit, eliminating the land, construction time, and cooling energy of Earth data centers.
Closed $275M Series B in May 2026. First satellite targeted for Q1 2027.

At LEO altitudes, satellites spend 70% of each orbit in direct sunlight. Solar panels generate continuous power without Earth's day/night cycle or weather.
Heat radiates directly into the 3 Kelvin cosmic background. A data center that needs no chillers uses a fraction of the power of ground facilities.
Data travels up via ground antennas, computation runs in space, results come down. Multi-gigabit bandwidth per satellite links to Earth ground stations.
Launching 30–100 satellites per mission lets Aetherflux scale capacity. Older hardware stays in service for lower-priority work, reducing waste.
