Nvidia announces Vera Rubin Space Module — up to 25x the AI compute of H100 for orbital data centers

Nvidia has unveiled the Vera Rubin Space Module at GTC 2026, offering up to 25 times more AI compute power than the H100 for orbital data centers. The module is designed for running LLMs and advanced models in space, with a focus on real-time data processing. Nvidia also introduced the IGX Thor for edge environments, Jetson Orin for satellites, and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition for geospatial intelligence tasks. Several space companies have already deployed Nvidia's platforms, with plans for orbital data centers and AI-driven satellite operations. Jeff Bezos' prediction of gigawatt-scale data centers in orbit may be closer than expected, with Nvidia leading the way in space computing advancements.
