Sophia Space
Updated: February 27, 2026
CEO - Rob DeMillo
Country: USA | Funding: $13.9M (+)
Founded: 2023
Website: https://sophia.space/
Sophia Space is building solar-powered, space-cooled, AI-ready orbital computing and data centers. The company's technology is based on a sail-like design that is thinner and more flexible than bulky traditional satellites. Sophia has also developed modular server racks with integrated solar panels, which it calls TILES. This thin form factor allows processors to be positioned close to the passive heat sink, eliminating the need for active cooling. It is expected that 92% of the generated energy will be directed toward data processing. The company plans to first test a new approach to passively cooling space computers on Earth, then acquire a satellite platform from Apex Space and demonstrate its operational capability in orbit by late 2027 or early 2028.
