Raising Series B; targeting commercial node in Q1 2027

Engineer Peter Glaser patented space solar power in 1973. For five decades it stayed theoretical; on April 27, 2026, Meta signed a 1-gigawatt capacity reservation with Virginia startup Overview Energy and became the first announced commercial buyer of orbital electricity.

Planning first orbital data center node for early 2027

Earth observation satellites generate petabytes of imagery every day, but only about two percent of it ever reaches the ground. The bottleneck is physics: a satellite in low Earth orbit gets maybe ten minutes of ground-station contact per pass, and radio bandwidth cannot keep up with sensor resolution that doubles every few years. Nvidia's answer, announced at its annual developer conference on March 17, 2026, is to stop trying to move the data down and instead move the AI up. The Vera Rubin Space-1 Module packs 25 times the compute power of Nvidia's H100 chip into a radiation-hardened package designed to run large language models and foundation models directly in orbit.
