Sophia Space Inc. has partnered with Outpost Technologies Corporation to evaluate the integration of on-orbit AI computing with rapid Earth-return manufacturing. The partnership focuses on using Sophia's TILE compute platform for processing data in orbit while utilizing Outpost's Carryall spacecraft to return hardware to Earth.
This collaboration aims to enhance space manufacturing, although no specific mission timeline has been disclosed. Outpost has a contract worth $33.2 million from the Air Force to develop its Carryall vehicle, which can transport 10 tons of cargo. The first Ferryall mission is scheduled for early 2026.
