Pixxel, Sarvam plan orbital data centre after Agnikul Cosmos-Neev Cloud

Pixxel and Sarvam on Monday announced plans to build an orbital data centre satellite, joining a global rush to build space-based computing infrastructure after Agnikul Cosmos and NeevCloud announced a similar initiative in February.

The ‘Pathfinder’ satellite, expected to launch as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, will carry data centre-grade GPUs and full-stack artificial intelligence (AI) models into orbit, enabling both training and inference directly in space, Pixxel and Sarvam said.
