K2 Space to Launch First High‑Powered Satellite for Space Compute
K2 Space is set to launch its inaugural high‑powered satellite, Gravitas, marking a major milestone in orbital compute capabilities. The 2‑ton satellite will deliver up to 20 kW of power, enabling advanced AI workloads directly in space.
Designed and built in‑house, Gravitas features a modular compute architecture, a high‑efficiency solar array, and a proprietary electric propulsion system that recently completed a successful thruster test. Backed by $450 million in funding, the launch positions K2 Space to serve a growing market for high‑performance space‑based processing.
