| D-Orbit Nebula / ION Space CloudUnibap | Intel | Supplier | Processors / accelerators Intel Movidius Myriad X vision-processing unit in Unibap's SpaceCloud iX5-100 flight computer aboard D-Orbit's ION Wild Ride mission launched June 30, 2021. Details & project milestonesIntel Movidius Myriad X vision-processing unit in Unibap's SpaceCloud iX5-100 flight computer aboard D-Orbit's ION Wild Ride mission launched June 30, 2021. Flight-hardware provenance confirmed by the payload provider. Direct procurement parties, order date and value are not disclosed. The source page is undated, so the launch date is retained in the scope and is not used as an agreement-announcement date. Its 4 TOPS figure covers the heterogeneous system, not the Intel VPU alone. This record applies to the Wild Ride configuration. Disclosed buyer: Not disclosed. Associated organization: Unibap. D-Orbit Nebula / ION Space Cloud: Flight demonstration completed; services offered Next project milestone: Updated active-node inventory, current capacity and further application results; no dated expansion commitment disclosed. This is a project target, not a supplier delivery commitment. Evidence checked 29 Oct 2026. | Role confirmedDisclosure date not suppliedSource ↗ |

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.
