Overview
- MOI-1A, which is scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026, on SpaceX’s Transporter-18 rideshare, is a sub-50 kg 6U CubeSat built to run AI inference in low Earth orbit.
- The satellite carries Nvidia Orin NX edge processors, a 9-band multispectral imager, about 2 terabytes of onboard storage and a roughly 150-watt power budget.
- TakeMe2Space has signed 23 customers for the mission from sectors such as agriculture, mining, supply-chain management and insurance, including US firm Little Place Labs.
- The flight follows a late-2024 technology demonstration that validated on-orbit model uploads and inference and the loss of the original MOI-1 in a January 2026 PSLV third-stage failure, after which the team rebuilt the bus and secured the SpaceX ride.
- The company says it designs most satellite subsystems in India, plans larger Generation-2 satellites from about 2027 with around 1,500 watts and 100 TB each, and aims for a 50 kW orbital compute constellation by 2029 while exploring in-orbit cold storage for critical data.
