This device is designed to solve the problem of modern satellites being isolated from cloud environments due to limited onboard processing power and coverage gaps. Aptos co-founder Yonatan Winetraub emphasized that “the company's goal is to make satellites as intelligent and accessible as any computer on Earth. Placing AI on board satellites will allow real-time data processing at the source and transfer the processed information back to Earth.” Aptos is partnering with Amazon Web Services and has already tested its terminal. Although the company is relatively new, its device has already demonstrated its effectiveness in a maximum-security environment for sensitive data transactions. In the last 2 years, Aptos terminals have been launched and orbited for a total of over 5 years of cumulative processing. Aptos modular terminals are provided in two versions, Mini for cubesats and Max for larger satellites. These terminals differ from traditional radiation-tolerant processors for AI applications because they integrate space-tolerant computing, persistent communication and cloud services into one small device. Aptos offers this device with a simple subscription, making it one of the most productive and practical solutions for satellite operators. This holistic approach has the potential to help satellite operators save years of technology integration and deployment.
