Customer-side runtime for orbital compute

Run AI workloads in orbit. With cryptographic proof of execution. Across every operator.

Apogee is the customer-side runtime for orbital compute. Every workload Apogee schedules produces a signed, post-quantum attestation envelope generated inside the satellite's secure chip, verifiable offline for the full ten-year mission lifecycle.

Why Apogee

A runtime built for what no operator-side stack can deliver.

01 / Neutral

Customer-neutral by construction

Apogee is the only runtime built customer-side rather than operator-side. NVIDIA cannot be neutral; they sell hardware to every operator. The operators cannot be neutral; they compete with each other. Apogee is the only credible neutral path.

02 / Proof

Cryptographic execution provenance

Every workload produces a hybrid Ed25519 plus NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 attestation envelope generated inside the satellite's on-orbit confidential-compute TEE. Verifiable offline by any third party for the full ten-year mission retention window.

03 / Portability

Cross-operator workload portability

One SDK, one billing relationship, one audit format across Starcloud, Axiom Space, Orbital, and ODC.space. Workloads migrate between operators automatically when capacity shifts. Mission continuity does not depend on any single operator.

How it works

One orbital workload. Six steps. Signed end to end.

Step 01

Submit workload through Apogee SDK

The customer submits an AI workload through the Apogee Runtime SDK with policy attached: latency budget, compliance tier, cost ceiling, and sovereignty constraints.

Step 02

Scheduler bids across operators

Apogee's scheduler bids the workload across Starcloud, Axiom Space, Orbital, and ODC.space using forecasted capacity, pricing, latency, and orbital availability for each operator's fleet.

Step 03

Bind to operator and uplink

The workload binds to the selected operator and uplinks to the target satellite during the next ground station visibility window. Operator routing happens beneath the customer-facing SDK.

Step 04

Execute inside the on-orbit TEE

The workload runs inside the satellite's confidential-compute trusted execution environment. Result, telemetry, and environmental measurements stay sealed inside the TEE until signing.

Step 05

Generate attestation envelope

A hybrid Ed25519 plus NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 signature is generated inside the TEE, covering the workload result, telemetry, and environment. Post-quantum ready for CNSA 2.0 timelines.

Step 06

Anchor to certificate-transparency log

The envelope hash is published to a public, append-only CT log on downlink. Any third party (auditor, regulator, customer) can verify the envelope offline for the next ten years, without contacting the operator.
