We’re convinced that larger satellites are the best foundation for orbital AI compute. That conviction drives our design at Cowboy Space. AI workloads need GPUs to exchange data quickly, including the working context used during inference. Larger satellites can host larger clusters of GPUs and keep more of those exchanges on onboard networks, keeping latency to a minimum and reducing reliance on inter-satellite links for tightly coupled workloads. At Cowboy Space, our approach is one large satellite per launch with a megawatt of peak compute capacity. The data center, launch vehicle and operations are designed together to target high bandwidth, low latency and best-in-class mass per unit of compute. As the power density of compute systems grows, our megawatt satellite can keep up. With fewer satellites required for a given amount of compute, we reduce orbital congestion and improve space safety relative to more distributed constellations. We’re revealing our roadmap and design at the end of this month. Stay tuned.

The work isn’t over. We’re just getting started. Over the next few weeks, the Cowboys at Mission Control will be working toward Reason-1’s goal: beaming power from orbit to Earth. Big ambition. Back to work.

It’s not hyperbole to say this will change everything. Can’t wait for Oct 26. 🚀🚀🚀
Big Sky Rising with @ShawnRyan762. Oct 26th we unveil the rocket. Giddyup!

So incredibly proud of this team @CowboySpaceCorp !!! 🚀🚀🚀
Years of hard work to get Reason-1 to space, and a well-earned celebration with some of the Cowboy Space team in San Carlos.

T-1 day until Reason-1 heads to orbit aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9. Once in orbit, our first mission will attempt something no commercial spacecraft has done before: power on a kilowatt-class laser in space. CEO @BaijuBhatt and COO @JoeYaffe with Reason-1 before its journey.
