SpaceComputer details secure computing architecture for space internet

SpaceComputer, a company based in Australia, is developing SpaceFabric, a secure computing architecture for space-based internet. The technology, which is designed to operate across 5-7 communication layers, generates cryptographic keys after satellites reach orbit and enables mutual attestation between secure stations. The company plans its first launch in October 2026, with two additional launches scheduled for 2027.

The technology aims to address security gaps in space communications, where recent research indicated that 50% of space communications are transmitted unencrypted. The architecture provides verifiable data transmission from spacecraft to Earth using cryptographic attestation.
