When does orbit beat these rates?

Orbital GPU capacity reaches the market in 2027. The question isn't whether orbit beats your cloud bill today — it's when it will for your workload, and whether you know that date before your competitors do. This calculator gives you the number. No commercial orbital capacity is on the market yet, so orbital cost here is a modeled figure (~3× the cheapest terrestrial rate, per public space-datacenter cost models): your workload's terrestrial cost across AWS, GCP, and Azure at modeled public rates, the modeled orbital premium, and the exact $/GPU-hr at which orbit reaches parity.

Where these numbers come from

Terrestrial rates: modeled public on-demand rate card (approx. March 2026) — H100: GCP $3.98 / AWS $4.15 / Azure $4.30 per GPU-hr; A100: GCP $2.10 / AWS $2.21 / Azure $2.35; L40S: GCP $1.15 / AWS $1.22 / Azure $1.30. Orbital: modeled at 3.0× the cheapest terrestrial rate — a modeled assumption ahead of the first commercial capacity expected in 2027, not a contracted rate. Every figure on this page is modeled, not a quote.
