Edge Aerospace

Core business

Edge Aerospace develops space-qualified computing and data-networking systems for next-generation spacecraft. Its data processing units and high-speed network switches enable satellites to process, route, secure, and act on mission data directly in orbit, reducing reliance on ground infrastructure. Designed for demanding commercial, civil, and defense missions, Edge Aerospace supports onboard autonomy, distributed command and control, space-based ISR, secure data handling, and emerging orbital data center architectures. 

Products and services

​​Edge Aerospace offers space-qualified data processing units, high-speed network switches, and supporting software for onboard computing and spacecraft data networks. Its E-Series processors provide mission computers, edge AI processing, secure boot, cryptographic functions, payload data handling, and interfaces for sensors, radios, and spacecraft subsystems. Its switching products enable high-throughput, resilient, and time-sensitive networking across satellites and payloads. Edge also supports architecture studies, mission integration, and roadmap development for orbital data centers, distributed space systems, and in-orbit data processing applications.
