OTP-2B
SpaceX Falcon 9 · SSO
About OTP-2B
OTP-2B is the third-generation orbital test platform, scheduled for launch NET Q4 2026. The 8U, 16 kg spacecraft represents a major leap in onboard computing density and mission endurance, carrying the Gen 3 Scalable Compute Platform (SCP), a space-qualified micro data center.
The Gen 3 SCP delivers 248 TOPS of AI compute performance, enabling real-time neural network inference, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision-making at the edge. Combined with Ka-band uplink/downlink and X-band downlink communications, OTP-2B can process and deliver massive datasets directly from orbit.
Designed for a 5-year operational life, OTP-2B extends the mission duration paradigm for small satellites. The platform supports software payload hosting, with integration slots now open for customer payloads targeting the Q4 2026 launch window.

Key Capabilities
Gen 3 SCP Micro Data Center
Space-qualified micro data center with 248 TOPS of AI compute, enabling real-time inference, sensor fusion, and autonomous operations at the orbital edge.
Ka-Band Uplink/Downlink
Ka-band bidirectional communications — a key differentiator enabling rapid command uplink, on-orbit software updates, and high-rate data downlink. Combined with X-band downlink for maximum flexibility and throughput.
5-Year Mission Endurance
Extended mission life design with radiation-hardened components, autonomous health management, and propulsive station-keeping for long-duration operations.
Software Payload Hosting
Supports software payload integration — customer algorithms can fly on the mission with rapid tasking via uplink and high-cadence downlink.
