SpaceX and Nvidia Design Orbital AI Compute System
SpaceX and Nvidia created a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system for orbital deployment.
SpaceX partnered with Nvidia on a Vera Rubin NVL72 system built for space. Elon Musk noted the design is significantly simpler, lower cost, denser and lighter than a traditional rack. The hardware targets orbital launch next year followed by larger scale later. Public posts from investors and observers described the project as monumental and positioned orbital compute as the future of inference.
SpaceX, in partnership with Nvidia, has designed a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system for launch to orbit in Q4 next year, with significant scale in 2028
The first CPU built for agents is going to work at scale. @SpaceX is deploying NVIDIA Vera to accelerate the orchestration, code execution, and data processing that powers its next generation of agentic AI — keeping GPUs fed and agents acting fast. From gigawatt AI factories…
