THE CLOUD, EVOLVED
WHY ODCs DRIVE VALUE
In-orbit processing delivers low-latency analytics and real time decision making without constant downlinking
Physically isolated infrastructure with end-to-end encryption and zero-trust architecture safeguards critical data
Immune to terrestrial outages, ensuring uninterrupted access and operations during ground-based disruptions
Operates beyond national jurisdictions to support sovereign, borderless data management
Powered by limitless solar energy and modular design for sustainable, self-expanding capacity
Expands global compute power without the energy and land costs of Earth-based data centers
how it works
A satellite collects raw data (think images or telemetry data). Instead of sending all raw data immediately to Earth, it sends to a nearby ODC node via optical link or via relay satellite. The Axiom Space ODC hardware runs processing/inferencing (filtering images, detecting features, compressing files, or running AI/ML models) potentially from multiple sources.
This results in smaller or more valuable data being sent either downward (to ground) or to another in-space node or stored onboard. If connectivity to ground drops, the node can buffer/store data, make local decisions, and trigger alerts all while acting autonomously.
The system can be updated with the newest software patches and models via over-the-air links. These updates are resilient to interrupted connections and have safety checks/backups built in. Maintenance and upgrades of infrastructure can happen through resupply missions or via replacement of modules for free-flying nodes.
Why AXIOM SPACE
2.5 gigabytes per second-capable optical links
Compatible with space development agency Tranche 1 optical communication standards
interoperable with national security, government, and commercial networks
"Many sectors of the space industry predict that AI and machine learning will help process the unprecedented amount of data collected in orbit. The ODC nodes will help enable that. "
