Aitech integrates NVIDIA IGX Thor into S-A2300 COTS space supercomputer to scale on-orbit data processing

Aitech says it is upgrading its S-A2300 COTS AI Supercomputer by integrating NVIDIA’s IGX Thor platform, aiming to “drastically” expand customer capability to process data in orbit. The move positions Aitech’s on-orbit compute offering as more capable for space-based workloads without bespoke space systems.

SpaceX’s IPO pitch widens: $75B target raise, $28.5T TAM framing, and a Starship V3 test-flight failure weeks ahead of launch SpaceX is positioning itself to join the ranks of public companies building the space-based economy, using its IPO marketing to frame a $28.5T total addressable market and a potential $75B fundraise. The filing also lands amid timing pressure after a Starship V3 test deployed mock satellites while the Super Heavy booster was destroyed after separation.
