About
OTP-2B is the third-generation orbital test platform from Rogue, scheduled for launch in Q1 2027. This 8U, 16 kg spacecraft represents a significant advancement in onboard computing density and mission endurance. It carries the Gen 3 Scalable Compute Platform (SCP), which is a space-qualified micro data center. The Gen 3 SCP provides 248 TOPS of AI compute performance, enabling real-time neural network inference, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision-making at the edge. For communications, OTP-2B features Ka-band uplink/downlink and X-band downlink, allowing it to process and deliver massive datasets directly from orbit. Designed for a 5-year operational life, OTP-2B extends the mission duration paradigm for small satellites. The platform supports software payload hosting, with integration slots currently open for customer payloads targeting the Q1 2027 launch window. Its key capabilities include the Gen 3 SCP Micro Data Center for orbital edge computing, Ka-Band bidirectional communications for rapid command uplink, on-orbit software updates, and high-rate data downlink, complemented by X-band downlink for maximum flexibility and throughput. The 5-year mission endurance is achieved through a design incorporating radiation-hardened components, autonomous health management, and propulsive station-keeping.
