Access and cost
Get Starcloud-2 — Capacity pricing is not published; the company takes enquiries for its first commercial mission.
Evidence it works
- Describes Starcloud-2 as its first commercial mission with a GPU cluster, persistent storage and 24/7 access, operational by 2027. — source
- Starcloud-1 reached orbit carrying an NVIDIA H100 GPU that operated in orbit, per reporting on the mission. — source
What it cannot do yet
- Not bookable: the first commercial mission is scheduled for 2027 and capacity terms are unpublished.
- Results still have to reach the ground, and that link remains the constraint on anything a customer needs to retrieve.
