AgniKul Announces Orbital AI Data Centre

Chennai-based AgniKul Cosmos and Bengaluru's NeevCloud announce plans to deploy an orbital AI data centre, with a proof-of-concept mission targeted for late 2026 and commercial operations planned for 2027. The partners plan to repurpose a rocket upper stage (Sooraj) as the hosting platform to leverage near-constant solar power and passive vacuum cooling, positioning India against SpaceX's proposed compute constellation.
