OrbitsEdge SatFrame
This project focuses on a satellite platform for computing in orbit.
NASA reported that OrbitsEdge selected HPE Edgeline 8000 for a planned 1,000 W SatFrame satellite variant and purchased development units. Current model-specific progress, deployment and available capacity remain unverified.
OrbitsEdge · Development
Scope: Shared computing & storage · A shared computing or storage platform, or a program developing that infrastructure. Classification describes intended use, not operating capacity.
Figures retain their disclosed units and scope. Launched hardware does not establish demonstrated performance; targets may change. Not disclosed means no figure in the reviewed sources.
HPE Edgeline 8000 was selected for OrbitsEdge’s planned 1,000 W SatFrame satellite variant; NASA also reports that OrbitsEdge purchased several units for development. This is a selected-computing-system and development-hardware role, with orbital deployment unverified.
February 11, 2025 is NASA’s publication date, not an agreement signature, purchase, launch or service date. NASA identifies OrbitsEdge as the purchaser of several development units; the direct seller or procurement intermediary, exact quantity, value and transaction date are undisclosed. This does not establish a production flight-hardware order. The role applies to the planned Edgeline 8000 SatFrame variant; it is not allocated to HPE’s ISS Spaceborne Computer or the separate Edge1/Prometheus Spark payload. The 1,000 W satellite plan is not demonstrated or available customer compute power.

Updated SatFrame development and deployment schedule; no confirmed current flight date.
Manual review 30 Oct 2026. Compared NASA's historical Edgeline selection with the undated 445 LE rack, cooling and power architecture. No deployment or IT-only power is established. Primary body last observed 18 Oct, 00:40 UTC. Source monitoring: blocked. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.
Current SatFrame-specific development status, named host or launch arrangement, flight date and deployment outcome are not established by the reviewed sources.
NASA describes a planned 1,000 W satellite variant, not a verified compute-power allocation, delivered compute capacity or orbital measurement.
The Edgeline 8000 agreement date, exact procurement counterparty, purchased quantity, contract value and delivery terms are undisclosed.
NASA says the larger variant would likely follow one or two smaller versions; their configurations and schedules are not specified.
A technical or program identity between SatFrame and the separately announced Edge1/Prometheus Spark payload has not been established.
Current customer availability, paid utilization and service terms remain unverified.
