In a landmark step toward space-based digital infrastructure, PowerBank Corporation and Orbit AI have successfully launched the first satellite under the ambitious Orbital Cloud Project.
Named DeStarlink Genesis-1, the satellite was placed into orbit on 10 December 2025, with the official announcement made on 11 December 2025.
This project aims to build the world’s first AI-powered, blockchain-enabled, space-based cloud network, operating entirely from Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Genesis-1 Successfully Deployed in Orbit
According to the official press release, Genesis-1 is now fully operational in space. The satellite includes:
- an AI inference module,
- an Ethereum-compatible blockchain wallet,
- and a solar-powered energy system,
making it a completely autonomous space-computing node.
Orbit AI’s CTO stated:
“We are creating a network that operates independently from Earth’s infrastructure — taking the future of data, AI, and security into space.”
