FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Laconia, NH — Rogue Space Systems Corporation today announced the commercial availability of its Scalable Compute Platform (SCP): a flight-proven, GPU-accelerated onboard computing system designed to bring AI, autonomous operations, and real-time data processing directly to spacecraft on orbit.
SCP: Compute at the Edge of Space
SCP has been operating in space since early 2025 aboard Rogue’s OTP-2 mission, where it has supported onboard data processing, autonomous operations, and large language model (LLM) inference. Built as a dedicated compute layer alongside the spacecraft’s flight computer, SCP allows operators to run analytics, perception, and mission logic on orbit while keeping those workloads entirely separate from flight-critical systems.
As satellites generate more data than can reasonably be downlinked or reviewed on the ground, the case for edge computing in space has never been stronger. SCP shifts computation directly to where the data is generated — orbit — enabling missions to filter, prioritize, and interpret data in real time. This reduces bandwidth demands, lowers ground station costs, and accelerates decision-making across Earth observation, national security, and emerging in-space infrastructure applications.
Flexible Mission Software, On Orbit
One of SCP’s defining capabilities is its support for over-the-air software updates. Operators and payload providers can deploy and update algorithms, analytics, and mission workflows over the full life of a mission without touching core flight systems. This flexibility means missions can evolve in response to new requirements, new data sources, or new customer needs — long after the spacecraft has launched.
In configurations where the mission demands it, SCP can also support faster onboard decision loops by connecting onboard analysis directly to spacecraft operations, enabling the kind of autonomous responsiveness that ground-in-the-loop architectures simply cannot match.
Quote from CEO
“We’ve spent the last year demonstrating that spacecraft can process data and operate with greater autonomy on orbit,” said Maj. Gen. Brook Leonard (USAF, ret.), CEO of Rogue Space Systems. “SCP is flying today on OTP-2, and we’re making that capability available to operators and payload providers who want faster decisions and more flexible mission software.”
Availability
SCP is available on-orbit today for software hosting arrangements. Rogue will have SCP hardware available for purchase and integration into customer spacecraft beginning Fall 2026.
Operators and payload providers interested in leveraging SCP’s capabilities can explore Rogue’s full suite of in-space services and reach out to begin discussions about mission integration.
