There are 3 orbital zones. Only one of them is fast enough for real-time cryptography. π Low Earth Orbit (LEO): 160β2,000 km up. The closest, fastest lane. π§ Medium Earth Orbit (MEO): 2,000β36,000 km. Home of GPS. π°οΈ Geostationary Orbit (GEO): 36,000+ km. Matches Earthβs rotation, appearing βstationary.βFarther away means broader coverage, but that distance comes at a cost. The rule is simple: higher orbit = higher latency. So if you're securing keys and running cryptographic operations in orbit, every millisecond counts. That's the SpaceComputer advantage in LEO: β Low-latency communication β Physical isolation no data center can match β Lower launch costs The future of trust infrastructure is in orbit.

Computing in space used to be a moonshot. Now itβs an architecture problem. If you follow space infra or βbeyond the cloud,β youβve heard the term Space Based Data Center (SBDC). A SBDC is a distributed network of satellites that provide compute and storage in orbit, powered by solar energy and designed to process data autonomously where it is generated. SpaceComputer fits the category by design: π°οΈ Distributed compute in orbit π°οΈ Processing blockchain data π°οΈ Operate without centralized facilities or constant ground control π‘ What we do differently: our architecture Enter orbit and unpack what orbital compute is and is not, and how architecture determines scalability for SBDCs beyond proof of concept.
