[V-s][U]Open page 23 in the dossier
  • Satellogic–Palantir: a five-year partnership announced 1 Feb 2022 brings Palantir's Edge AI onto Satellogic satellites ("from space to mud," Shyam Sankar) (Satellogic) [V-s].
  • Stargate Argentina: a non-binding letter of intent (10 Oct 2025) between OpenAI and Sur Energy for a data center of up to 500MW and up to $25B under the RIGI tax regime. OpenAI would be an "offtaker," with OpenAI for Countries "starting with the government." Sur Energy's partner quoted is Emiliano Kargieman, Satellogic's founder (Sur Energy, Casa Rosada, OpenAI, Reuters) [V-s].
  • Milei's AI security unit (UIAAS, July 2024): not verified this pass [U].
  • UH lead check: "Kargieman behind Stargate Argentina; Satellogic works with Palantir (and SpaceX) on predictive satellite surveillance; the state may become the data center's user" → LARGELY CONFIRMED on Kargieman and Palantir, and on the government as an intended AI user. The SpaceX tie and "predict the future" are unverified [U].
