In-Space Data & Security

Laying the Foundations for Large-Scale Data & Security Infrastructure in Space

Axiom Space is developing and operationalizing an array of In-Space Data and Security solutions in support of commercial, civil, and national security applications in low-Earth orbit and beyond.


Axiom Station lays the foundation for an expansive ecosystem of commercial human-rated infrastructure and associated logistics in LEO.



Commercial human-rated infrastructure provides unique advantages as compared to “traditional” uncrewed and unpressurized satellite assets in Earth’s orbit:


  • Orders of magnitude more volume, external real estate, electrical power, and heat rejection capacity
  • A pressurized environment where state-of-the-art commercial hardware can operate in a benign environment
  • Regular crewed and resupply missions whereby new hardware, upgrades, and maintenance cycles can support internal and external hardware at much lower logistics and operations costs as compared to unscrewed orbital systems
  • Similarly, regular crewed and resupply missions whereby fuel and other physical commodities will be brought up to LEO at discounted costs

Operationalizing the World's 1st Orbital Data Center

Axiom Space has entered agreements with Kepler Communications US Inc. and Skyloom Global Corp. to integrate and demonstrate high data rate Optical Intersatellite Links (OISLs) on the first module of Axiom Space’s commercial space station – Axiom Station. In parallel, the Axiom Space team is building the world’s first scalable, cloud technology-enabled, commercial orbital data center to be hosted on Axiom Station.

The development of this first tranche of orbital data center capability (ODC T1) will support the transformation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) into a global space marketplace by maturing the necessary technologies and infrastructure for large-scale and secure space-based data processing. One of the key features of the orbital data center is “Earth independence” – the ability to provide in-space cloud services without the need to connect back to terrestrial cloud infrastructure. ODC T1 will help operationalize data processing and management applications for Axiom Space’s customers, while setting the stage for lunar and Mars use cases where on-premises data processing will be required to support exploration and economic development beyond Earth’s orbit.
