Satlyt has completed a test of software designed to turn existing satellites into a distributed data-processing network, according to a Techub summary citing TechCrunch. Working with the University of Houston under a NASA-funded research project, the company demonstrated in orbit how its system can assign tasks across computers based on communications conditions and available computing capacity. The software is already deployed on three satellites currently in orbit. Satlyt’s stated goal is to connect multiple satellites so they can share computing workloads rather than operate as isolated systems. The company was founded in 2024 by Rama Afullo, who previously worked at Google and SpaceX. Satlyt says it aims to convert spacecraft into virtual data centers, extending the role of satellites beyond communications and observation into onboard processing and distributed compute.
