KP Labs raises €4.42M for AI data processing in orbit
KP Labs raised €4.42 million to build more satellite hardware that processes data in orbit, reducing the amount sent back to Earth.

KP Labs has secured €4.42 million in funding to expand its satellite data-processing products and hardware production capabilities. The company focuses on moving inference operations into orbit, a shift that can reduce the volume of data that must be transmitted to ground stations.
Running AI workloads directly on satellites presents engineering constraints tied to space-grade reliability and reproducibility. Hardware must function in harsh conditions without maintenance, and computational results need to be consistent and verifiable over long-duration missions.
