Hyderabad Startups Launch Orbital AI Lab
8.0
Two Hyderabad startups, TakeMe2Space and Eon Space Labs, are launching MOI-1, India's first orbital AI-image lab, aboard ISRO's PSLV-C62 on January 12, 2026. The 14-kg 3U CubeSat integrates a proprietary radiation-shielded Nvidia GPU and the monolithic MIRA telescope to process imagery in orbit, promising up to eightfold reductions in data costs and $2-per-minute user access.
Key Points
- 1Deploys 14-kg MOI-1 3U CubeSat with Nvidia GPU and MIRA monolithic telescope on PSLV-C62.
- 2Demonstrates in-orbit processing to avoid cloud-obstructed imagery and reduce downlink bottlenecks.
- 3Enables developers to run custom AI in orbit at $2/min, cutting user data costs eightfold.
Scoring Rationale
Demonstrates practical orbital edge-AI with clear cost benefits; constrained by single demonstration and limited independent verification.
