Starcloud is an American company developing data centers in space. Its website presents an architecture using solar energy and radiative cooling, while Rocket Lab identifies it as a customer for a future dedicated Neutron launch. Tom’s Hardware identifies the company as based in Redmond, Washington. Its proposed larger orbital data-center systems remain development plans; the launch booking does not establish that a commercial data-center constellation is operational.
