Summary points
- Intellitake Technologies Corp. and Orbit AI have formed a partnership to develop Orbital Cloud, a space architecture that merges AI computing, global connectivity and blockchain verification.
- The Orbital Cloud aims to process, authenticate and transmit data directly in orbit, reducing reliance on terrestrial data centers and improving speed, security and resilience.
- Intellitake will provide validation and node infrastructure as the blockchain verification layer within Orbit AI’s coordination layer, allowing satellites to authenticate data and record verified transactions independently of ground networks.
VANCOUVER, Canada – Intellitake Technologies Corp. in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a developer of decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain infrastructure, announced its partnership with Orbit AI in Singapore, an aerospace company developing the Orbital Cloud, a new form of space infrastructure where communication, computation and verification converge beyond Earth.
The Orbital Cloud combines AI computing (DeStarAI), global connectivity (DeStarlink) and blockchain verification (Intellistake) to create a satellite network capable of processing and verifying data directly in orbit. By moving these processes off Earth, the platform removes dependence on centralized data centers.
Intellitake intends to provide validation and node infrastructure to secure this system, acting as the verification layer of the blockchain within the coordination layer of Orbit AI. This blockchain infrastructure is designed to allow satellites to authenticate data, coordinate AI workloads, and record verified transactions independently of terrestrial networks.

Spatial AI
As AI capabilities expand beyond Earth, companies say secure, autonomous systems are needed. The Orbital Cloud seeks to address this need by creating an interconnected satellite mesh capable of computing global AI, verifying blockchain, and communicating in orbit. Intellitake’s contribution ensures that the network is transparent, trustless and verifiable, enabling AI systems to operate in space with integrity and independence.
The Orbital Cloud is intended to support emerging applications for on-orbit computing and verification. By processing data in space, satellites could run AI models for Earth observation, space situational awareness and environmental monitoring, reducing latency and bandwidth demands.
The system is designed to enable autonomous coordination between satellite constellations, allowing spacecraft to authenticate data, route communications and manage resources without ground networks.
The platform also enables distributed communications independent of Earth infrastructure, supports high-demand AI workloads for telecommunications and analytics, and could facilitate deep space missions by running AI workflows with limited contact with Earth. Defense users can benefit from real-time threat detection, resilient command and control links, and secure ISR data processing across distributed systems.
Orbit AI’s first satellite, Genesis-1, with Ethereum wallet capabilities and integrated blockchain nodes, is expected to launch in December 2025. In 2026, Orbit AI plans to deploy a small network of satellites integrating AI computing and blockchain verification, with full constellation deployment planned by 2028 to 2030.
