08:34 ET Starcloud and Mission Space Forge Strategic Alliance to Integrate Orbital Datacenters with Next-Gen Space Weather Data

, /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Space, a space weather intelligence company, announced a strategic partnership with Starcloud, the orbital data center provider, to integrate real-time space weather intelligence into Starcloud's orbital AI compute platform.The collaboration will provide Starcloud's orbital data centers with high-resolution space weather data and predictive analytics, enabling dynamic optimization of power and thermal management to maintain uninterrupted operations even during severe solar storms. Continue Reading Mission Space and Starcloud Philip Johnston, CEO of Starcloud, noted that Mission Space's forecasting capabilities are essential for calibrating power delivery and cooling, ensuring peak computational performance across all orbital conditions. "Mission Space's real-time space weather forecasting capabilities are a critical piece in our data center-in-space infrastructure," Johnston said. "Their input lets us actively calibrate power delivery and cooling to maintain peak workloads in any orbital environment." Mission Space's proprietary platform, built around the award-winning Zohar payload, delivers real-time metrics on radiation, proton flux, charged particles, geomagnetic activity, and atmospheric drag. Launched in March 2025, Zohar-I has proven flight heritage, providing validated, high-resolution data for operational use in orbit. Mary Glaz, CEO of Mission Space, commented: "Starcloud's orbital data centers are an ideal platform for our space-weather-enabled resilience tools. Together, we ensure compute stays online—no matter how intense solar activity becomes."Starcloud plans to launch its first micro data center in 2026, following a 2025 demonstrator mission featuring GPUs 100 times more powerful than any previously flown in orbit. Integration with Mission Space's real-time data will enable adaptive power routing, safeguarding workloads and maximizing uptime while leveraging scalable solar energy for high-performance AI compute.About StarcloudStarcloud develops GPU compute clusters in low Earth orbit, providing high-performance AI compute for a wide range of applications. Backed by Y Combinator, In-Q-Tel, NFX, and others, the company will launch a demonstrator in late 2025, with a full micro data center scheduled for 2026.About Mission SpaceMission Space is developing the first commercial space weather intelligence system to serve both Earth-based industries and deep space missions. Our technology combines a proprietary satellite constellation with advanced forecasting models to deliver real-time, high-resolution measurements of radiation, proton flux, charged particles, and geomagnetic activity.Contact:Mary Glaz[email protected]305.7989755SOURCE Mission Space
