Scalable Compute Platform
SCP is Rogue's flight-demonstrated flexible compute platform — a low-SWaP compute layer for spacecraft OEMs, ISR/SDA/SAR mission teams, commercial EO operators, and hosted payload customers that need onboard inference, data triage, autonomy support, and software-defined mission workflows without putting flight-critical systems at risk. SCP provides a full Linux high-performance computing environment, so you can containerize and move your terrestrial software to the point where it's most effective: your satellite in orbit.
Your mission generates more than your ground station can handle
Modern spacecraft collect far more data than any downlink window can return to the ground. By the time that data is processed and acted on, the moment has passed. Ground-in-the-loop architectures add hours or days of latency between collection and response — incompatible with time-sensitive operations, denied comms environments, or missions where conditions change faster than an operator can react.
At the same time, every new payload or capability update traditionally requires changes to flight-critical systems — adding integration risk, cost, and schedule. Mission software shouldn't live on your flight computer.
SCP gives you a dedicated, flight-proven compute layer that runs your software in orbit, separate from the flight computer, so you can process, triage, and act on your data at the point of collection — and update your workflows over the life of the mission without touching flight-critical systems.
High-performance processing at the orbital edge
- Real-time image filtering, event detection, and onboard compression to maximize downlink value
- Persistent LLM inference with session context for onboard copiloting and decision support
- Autonomous mission planning support, objective in, execution plan out, to minimize ground intervention
- Payload-data triage and custom analytics using your mission software
- Flexible compute capacity for missions that need more onboard processing capability
Who SCP is for
SCP is intended to reduce mission-by-mission NRE by giving integrators a standardized compute layer with familiar interfaces, Linux support, and software isolation from the flight computer.
Spacecraft OEMs & Bus Integrators
Re-solving onboard compute on every program adds NRE, integration risk, and schedule. SCP is a standardized, flight-proven compute layer with familiar interfaces, Linux support, and software isolation from the flight computer — so you integrate once and reuse across missions.
Defense / ISR / SDA / SAR Missions
For missions operating under limited, denied, or intermittent communications, ground-in-the-loop latency breaks the kill chain. SCP supports onboard triage, autonomy support, and edge inference closer to the sensor — turning raw collection into decisions on orbit.
Commercial EO Operators
Downlink can't keep up with sensor output, and raw data loses value before it reaches the ground. SCP runs real-time filtering, event detection, and onboard compression to maximize the value of every downlink window.
Hosted Payload Customers
Building a satellite just to fly your software is slow and expensive. Deploy your algorithm, AI model, or data pipeline to flight-proven SCP compute already on orbit — no hardware integration required.
SCP-supported mission workflows
SCP is flight-demonstrated on OTP-2 across persistent LLM inference, onboard image processing, autonomous mission planning support, and mission software execution separate from the flight computer.
Real-Time Edge Processing
Supports real-time image filtering, event detection, and onboard compression to maximize the value of each downlink window.
Persistent LLM Inference
Persistent LLM inference with context maintained across sessions for onboard copiloting and decision support.
Autonomous Mission Planning
Supports autonomous mission planning workflows, objective in, execution plan out, to help minimize ground intervention where the mission architecture permits.
Command Pathways
Facilitates command pathways from SCP to the flight computer when supported by the mission architecture, helping accelerate tempo in denied or limited communications environments.
On-Orbit Software Updates
New algorithms and workflows can be uploaded on orbit as requirements evolve, extending SCP capabilities over the life of your mission without hardware changes.
Defense Sensing & Edge Compute
For ISR, SAR, SDA/SSA, and ISL mission teams, SCP provides flight-proven GPU-accelerated compute for your edge workflows closer to the data source.
Second Generation SCP
The second-generation Scalable Compute Platform provides a flight-proven GPU-accelerated flexible compute platform for inference, payload-data triage, onboard compression, autonomous mission planning support, and other mission-specific processing workflows.
Two routes to deploying SCP
Integrate SCP flight hardware into your own spacecraft from Fall 2026, or run your software on SCP aboard OTP-2 today as a low-friction pathfinder.
Integrate SCP into your spacecraft
SCP flight units and engineering models available to ship for your mission as early as Fall 2026. Talk to Rogue about mechanical fit, harnessing, interface requirements, qualification data, mission software approach, and lead times.
Talk to Rogue about integrationRun on OTP-2 now as a low-friction pathfinder
Bring your software workflows to SCP aboard OTP-2 with no hardware integration on your end. You provide the algorithms — Rogue handles integration and operation on flight-proven, GPU-accelerated compute already in orbit.
