Pixxel, Sarvam to launch India’s first orbital data center satellite

Spacetech company Pixxel has announced a strategic partnership with Sarvam AI to develop and build India’s first orbital data center satellite. Under the partnership, Pixxel will design, build, launch and operate the Pathfinder satellite — a 200 kg-class satellite that is scheduled to reach the orbit as early as the fourth quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, AI startup Sarvam will handle both training and inference directly in the orbit, along with the full-stack language models running on board the satellite, a release from Pixxel stated.
