Onboard processing is changing what a satellite has to be. Astradyne is developing a high-power spacecraft designed for that shift.

A traditional satellite is built around its sensors — a few hundred watts, drawn in bursts. A spacecraft that processes data on orbit is a different machine: kilowatts, drawn continuously, where every watt of compute becomes heat that has to go somewhere.
At that point power generation and heat rejection stop being subsystems and start defining the architecture. That is the problem we are building for.
Multi-kilowatt generation sized for continuous, compute-heavy workloads.
Rejecting the heat that high onboard processing inevitably produces.
A power and thermal core that scales with the payload it has to serve.
