Voyager Technologies Inc. has deployed cloud computing technology on the International Space Station (ISS).

The company has launched "Space Edge" - a space-hardened and managed cloud infrastructure - and deployed it on the ISS, making what the company claims is the first multi-cloud region in space.

Space Edge was developed by LEOcloud, a company recently acquired by Voyager. The solution enables processing in orbit, reducing latency without the need to send data back to a terrestrial data center. The company claims this is up to 30 times faster than traditional satellite-to-ground solutions.

Voyager is targeting defense, civil space, and commercial markets.

“As the space economy grows, space-based infrastructure becomes as essential as it is on Earth,” said Dennis R. Gatens, president of LEOcloud at Voyager. “For missions across defense, national security and in-space research that require actionable data at the speed of relevance, Space Edge brings data processing closer to the source.”

The offering is also supported by Podman - developed by Red Hat engineers and the open source community - and used for application administration and deployment.

“Space-based cloud infrastructure is the next frontier, and more secure, flexible infrastructure is paramount to enabling AI workloads at the orbital edge delivering mission success,” said Travis Steele, chief architect for air and space forces, Red Hat.

“Deploying Podman on Space Edge delivers containerized, low-latency processing in orbit, helping ensure that teams have the capabilities necessary to analyze data and make real-time decisions with greater speed and reliability.”

Earlier this year, Red Hat announced it was teaming up with Axiom Space on Axiom's Data Center Unit-1 (AxDCU-1) for the ISS. Similarly, this would enable Axiom Space to host hybrid cloud applications and workloads on an Orbital data center.

Many companies are looking to bring compute into space. In March 2025, the Lonestar data center, carried by Intuitive Machines' Athena lander, landed on the Moon. The landing had some complications, with Athena incorrectly oriented.

Voyager Technologies is a defense and space technology company and was founded in 2019. Formerly known as Voyager Space, the company went public earlier this year with an Initial Public Offering. Since its launch, Voyager has acquired Altieus Space Machines, Pioneer Astronautics, The Launch Company, NanoRacks, Valley Tech Systems, Space Micro, and Zin Technologies.
