Orbital, 궤도에서 Nvidia 칩을 테스트하기 위해 $5M 유치
Orbital은 AI 추론을 위해 Nvidia Blackwell 칩을 우주로 발사하기 위해 $5M의 시드 펀딩을 유치했으며, SpaceX Starship이 결국 발사 비용을 충분히 낮춰 궤도 데이터센터를 경제적으로 실현 가능하게 만들 것이라고 베팅하고 있습니다.
orbital, a new space data center startup founded by spin co-founder euwyn poon, raised $5m in seed funding from a16z and others to perform ai inference in orbit. the company plans to fly an nvidia blackwell chip on a demo flight this year and launch data-processing spacecraft with nvidia space-1 gpus by 2028, eventually targeting a constellation of 10,000 satellites. the venture relies on spacexs starship to reduce the brutal economics of launch, with partner andrew chen noting that ai demand justifies long-term capital efforts.
