Compute hardware: STERNA with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX in Super Mode Out of Tern planned for February 2027. The operator explicitly maps this hardware and mode to the booked Gracious Gloria demonstration. It does not establish the March 2026 payload mode, numerical performance or sustained flight power. The October28 release describes over50percent more AI performance in Super Mode. Relative design claim only, with workload and arithmetic format unspecified. official project specification.

Compute hardware: Hyperspectral camera, STERNA, Morus based on NVIDIA Jetson Thor, and relay link Wingman planned for October 2027. The booked D-Orbit ION mission is described as the first complete EDGX payload and first Morus flight. Component models, count, workload throughput and mission power are not disclosed here. Product-wide Morus ratings are not assigned to this mission. The October 28 release identifies Morus as based on Jetson Thor. This is planned hardware, not flown performance. official project specification. Included with these qualifications. Source observation: 2026-10-28. Supporting source ↗ | |

Compute hardware: STERNA built on NVIDIA Jetson March 2026 STERNA demonstrations. Exact Jetson variant, installed count and achieved AI throughput are not disclosed for the March payloads. Do not assign planned 2027 Orin NX Super Mode to these flights. The Sterna platform is designed to adapt processing to power and thermal conditions, without a disclosed flight operating envelope. official reported specification.

Technical specifications retain the source’s original units and evidence status. Hardware counts, compute rates and power are not equivalent; launched hardware does not establish demonstrated performance. Supplier counts include suppliers and hosts only, reflect current filters and cover this directory, not the entire market. “No record” means no disclosure captured; it does not mean the work is unawarded. Latest developments use source dates, not routine review or collection dates.
