Run your algorithm on flight hardware.
An engineering team needs evidence that its software behaves reliably on a compatible onboard computer before committing to its own mission.
A hypothetical brief to explain the service. This is not a completed customer project or a confirmed offer.
The request
- 1 reviewed workload and software version
- A defined test dataset and execution budget
- A compatible, available payload environment
What comes back
- Workload outputs and execution logs
- Runtime and available memory-use measurements
- A record of the test configuration
What needs to be confirmed?
Processor architecture, operating environment, interfaces, runtime constraints and rollback requirements are agreed with the operator before upload.
What does it cost?
Technical quote required. The review must distinguish one-time integration from execution, support and result-delivery costs.
What changes compared with launching your own satellite?
Using an existing payload can remove spacecraft procurement and launch from this test’s path. The remaining integration and scheduling work determines whether the campaign can run in weeks.
| Dedicated satellite | Existing compatible capacity |
|---|---|
| Develop and qualify a spacecraft | Review and integrate the workload |
| Procure and schedule a launch | Agree an available operating window |
| Operate the entire mission | Buy the scoped task and its results |
This compares project scope, not guaranteed cost or time savings. A hosted workload still requires technical acceptance and an operator agreement.
