The company has signed agreements with Thales Alenia Space and Edge Aerospace to work on a constellation of compute satellites.

Luxembourg space startup OwlO Cloud has come out of stealth with plans for a constellation of orbital data centers, DCD reports. It has signed memoranda of understanding with satellite maker Thales Alenia Space and Luxembourg space computing startup Edge Aerospace.

"Our goal is to build a constellation by 2030, including more than ten Orbital Cloud Node satellites," chief executive Jason Aspiotis told DCD. OwlO plans to offer megawatts of compute capacity in orbit from 2030 for Europe's space supply chain, using Edge Aerospace's multi-kilowatt space computers, and says it wants to prove the economics with concrete use cases before building larger infrastructure.
