Orbit AI Orbital Cloud / Genesis-1
This project focuses on testing AI computing in orbit and developing an orbital computing network.
Orbit AI’s Genesis-1 launched in December 2025, with onboard AI later claimed by the operator and relayed by investors. PowerBank reported a completed US$500,000 equity investment in February 2026. NTU announced research with BC Space involving Orbit AI Genesis in March. Current service availability and performance remain independently unverified.
