Pixxel and Sarvam to launch Pathfinder orbital data centre processing space data in orbit with AI

Processing happens overhead, not on the ground

Pixxel and Sarvam have joined forces to build “Pathfinder,” an orbital data centre satellite that runs AI models directly in space. Instead of sending raw data back to Earth first, the craft will process large volumes in orbit for faster, real-time insights. The approach could strengthen data sovereignty while boosting capabilities for environmental monitoring and resource management with less ground infrastructure.

  • Pixxel and Sarvam collaborate on an orbital data centre satellite
  • Pathfinder will process space data in orbit using AI models
  • Real-time environmental and resource insights could follow
  • The design reduces dependence on ground-based infrastructure
