Cyrill Glockner

Cyrill Glockner, VP of Partnerships and Product Strategy at Sophia Space, discusses innovative methods for putting compute infrastructure into Earth orbit. He explains the stepwise approach involving SOFIA tiles, which are modular solar panels with integrated GPUs. Cyrill dives into thermal management strategies, redundancy in GPU design, and the benefits of passive cooling in space. He shares insights on the longevity of tiles, potential market models, and predicts that by 2040, space compute could rival Earth’s capabilities.
