Catapulting satellites into space. Making all the data center heat useful. Why memory technology needs disrupting. All that and more in this week’s Prototype. To get it in your inbox, sign up here. As I mentioned earlier this month, the space economy is facing a bottleneck when it comes to rocket launches: Demand is currently outstripping supply. It’s also possible that there will be fewer launches in 2026 than there were in 2025. To be sure, there are plenty of rocket companies racing to close the gap, but “It’s not rocket science” is a cliché for a reason: Actual rocket science is often filled with delays and setbacks. It’s why Winnie Lai wants to eliminate rockets from at least part of the equation. She’s the founder of Auriga Space, which is developing a linear electromagnetic accelerator to catapult rockets to high altitudes, where their engines kick in to bring them to orbit. It esse

The race to build data centers in space is gaining momentum as AI drives unprecedented demand for computing power. Orbital facilities could tap into abundant solar energy and avoid many of the environmental challenges faced on Earth. Yet space remains a harsh and expensive place to operate, with major hurdles including cooling, maintenance, radiation exposure, and orbital debris.
Orbital, a Los Angeles-based startup founded by former e-scooter entrepreneur Euwyn Poon, has raised a $5 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz’s Speedrun accelerator to develop orbital data centers capable of running AI inference workloads in space. The company, which counts roughly a dozen employees with experience at SpaceX, Amazon LEO, and Northrop Grumman, […]
