Australia · Shared programmable orbital computing
This project focuses on a shared platform for running programmable computing tasks in orbit.
Your Code In Space (YCIS) enabled third parties to run applications on Spiral Blue’s SE-1 computer hosted by Satellogic. Commissioning and external workloads were reported in 2023; two operator-owned computers launched in March 2024 for expansion. Current YCIS availability is not established by these historical reports.

Spiral Blue YCIS program announcement (opens in a new tab)Verified announcements and milestones linked to this project, newest first.
The March 5 report distinguishes two operator-owned units from two customer units.
The February 2024 announcement planned five SE-1 computers across three satellites and two March launches. Four were allocated to Transporter-10: three on Space Machines Company’s Optimus, including two Spiral Blue-operated YCIS units, plus one on another customer satellite. A fifth customer computer was assigned to a separate launch. The release also forecast a Q3 2024 SE-2 product based on Orin NX.
Body dateline; the page heading is October 1. Road mapping was demonstrated on SE-1.
Spiral Blue reports that its co-founders received the APRSAF-29 Space Achievement Award for the SE-1 space computer. The announcement describes SE-1 operating in low Earth orbit since April 2023 and YCIS offering external developers and researchers a route to test code on the hardware. Additional computer launches described for 2024 were future plans at publication.
Source-local calendar date; metadata is August 30 at 14:00 UTC.
Spiral Blue identified NVIDIA Xavier NX hardware in the operational SE-1.
Satellogic hosted payload launched on Transporter-6; commissioning was reported in April.
