Indian space startup TakeMe2Space plans to launch an orbital computing satellite aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. The Hyderabad-based company is working on data processing in orbit rather than beaming raw data back to Earth, an approach that could cut costs and latency for satellite customers. The launch would mark a notable step for India's private space sector, which is gaining international visibility through partnerships with global launch providers like SpaceX.
