What TakeMe2Space does

TakeMe2Space (TM2Space Technologies Pvt Ltd) is a Hyderabad-based, privately-held spacetech startup founded in 2023 by Ronak Kumar Samantray (formerly co-founder of NowFloats Technologies, acquired by Reliance). The company designs, builds and operates a vertically integrated 6U CubeSat platform called MOI (My Orbital Infrastructure), bundling an in-house AI compute module (AI-Cube, Nvidia Jetson Orin NX delivering 117 TOPS), a 9-band multispectral CMOS imager, proprietary TM2S RadShield Ta-tape radiation coating (claimed 10x TID reduction and 5-year mission life on terrestrial-grade parts), an indigenous ADCS (StarSense star tracker, reaction wheels, magnetorquers) and a 5-stage orbital processing pipeline that captures imagery, runs AI inference, filters to insights and downlinks encrypted compressed output. The MOI-TD tech demo completed 394 orbits on ISRO PSLV-C60 (declared successful 20 January 2025, TRL 8); MOI-1 was lost in the PSLV-C62 third-stage failure of 12 January 2026; MOI-1A is manifested for SpaceX Falcon 9 in October 2026 as the first node of a planned six-satellite Constellation.

The commercial layer is built around OrbitLab, a SaaS platform hosted on MOI satellites that allows enterprises and researchers to upload AI models and process Earth observation data on orbit at a published $2 per minute usage price, and OrbitVault, a consent-driven space-cloud data repository. Adjacent revenue streams include OrbitView (direct-to-consumer satellite imagery at $100 per shot), an online store selling satellite buses, subsystems (star trackers, reaction wheels, ADCS, onboard computers) and RadShield coating to satellite builders, hosted-payload and custom-mission services for defence and enterprise customers, and the Manha CubeSat educational kit for schools and universities. The company has demonstrated AI inferencing with three customers, signed an MoU with Little Place Labs at DefSAT 2026, and is developing India's first domestically built star tracker with IN-SPACe Technology Adoption Fund backing.

TakeMe2Space is venture-backed (Rs 5.5 crore pre-seed led by SeaFund in March 2025; USD 5 million seed led by Chiratae Ventures in January 2026; further Chiratae Sonic DeepTech allocation up to USD 2 million; IN-SPACe Technology Adoption Fund award) with a stated 22-person team scaling toward ~60, and is pursuing a $55 million round for a 50 kW orbital data centre by 2029 as an interim milestone to a long-term vision of a 1 gigawatt, 20,000-satellite Orbital Data Center.

Core offering

TakeMe2Space designs, builds and operates vertically integrated 6U CubeSat orbital compute platforms (the MOI series), sells its in-house satellite subsystems and RadShield radiation coating technology, and provides in-orbit AI processing services through the OrbitLab SaaS platform and consumer satellite imagery through OrbitView. The company's flagship is the MOI-1A orbital compute satellite launching October 2026 on SpaceX Falcon 9, delivering 117 TOPS of on-orbit AI compute with a 9-band multispectral imager for real-time Earth observation analytics.

Product overview

TakeMe2Space (TM2Space Technologies Pvt Ltd) operates a vertically-integrated platform-plus-modules architecture for orbital data centres. The flagship hardware product is the MOI (My Orbital Infrastructure) satellite series — a 6U CubeSat platform built entirely in-house (bus, subsystems, AI-Cube, multispectral imager, and RadShield Coating) — which powers the planned six-satellite Constellation delivering complete daily global coverage with orbital compute by Q4 2027. The core SaaS layer is OrbitLab, a developer-facing in-orbit AI lab that lets customers upload AI models and run experiments on MOI satellites for ~$2/min. OrbitVault extends the platform with secure space-cloud storage and consent-driven data sharing, while OrbitView is a consumer-facing brand for commissioning satellite photographs. Educational outreach is delivered via the Manha CubeSat kit, and TM2S RadShield Coating plus the in-development StarSense star tracker are protected, in-house subsystem technologies that anchor the company's vertical-integration strategy. Together these products advance the company's mission to make orbital infrastructure as accessible as the internet.
