**PowerBank and Smartlink AI ("Orbit AI") to Launch the First<br> "Orbital Cloud" for AI Infrastructure into Space**

● **Rocket launch of DeStarlink Genesis-1 satellite expected December 2025.** 

● **Technologies and components from NVIDIA, Ethereum Foundation, Galaxy Space, Galactic Energy, SparkX Satellite, and AscendX Aerospace who are existing or planned suppliers.** 

● **USD$615B projected Global Satellite Market by 2032.** 

The mission leverages cutting-edge satellite technology, high-performance AI compute hardware, blockchain verification systems, and clean-energy solutions to demonstrate a next-generation digital infrastructure in orbit.

<u>Strategic Vision</u>

Through its collaboration with Orbit AI, PowerBank intends to contribute advanced solar energy systems and adaptive thermal control solutions, reflecting its broader shift toward digital asset, data center, and RWA (Real World Asset) infrastructure, where solar power supports digital infrastructure deployments and high-growth AI markets. PowerBank's contribution focuses on solar power and adaptive thermal technologies essential to future satellite's "Execution Layer."

"The next frontier of human innovation isn't just in space exploration, it's in building the infrastructure of tomorrow above the Earth," said **Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank**. "The combined markets for orbital satellites, in-orbit data centers, blockchain verification, and solar-powered digital infrastructure are projected to exceed $700 billion over the next decade. By integrating solar energy with orbital computing, PowerBank is helping create a globally sovereign, AI-enabled digital layer in space , which is a system that can help power finance, communications, and critical infrastructure."

"Orbit AI is creating the first truly intelligent layer in orbit — satellites that compute, verify, and optimize themselves autonomously," said **Gus Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of Smartlink AI**. "The Orbital Cloud turns space into a platform for AI, blockchain, and global connectivity. By leveraging solar-powered compute payloads and decentralized verification nodes, we are opening an entirely new potentially $700+ billion-dollar market opportunity — one that combines energy, data, and sovereignty to reshape industries from finance to government and Web3. PowerBank's expertise in advanced solar energy systems will be significant in supporting this initiative."

As Jeff Bezos recently commented at Italian Tech Week, Turin, Italy, October 2025[1]:

"We will be able to beat the cost of terrestrial data centres in space in the next couple of decades. These giant training clusters will be better built in space, because we have solar power there, 24/7 — no clouds, no rain, no weather. It already has happened with weather and communication satellites. The next step is going to be data centres and then other kinds of manufacturing."

<u>Benefits of the Orbital Cloud</u>

● *Energy & Efficiency*: Solar-powered orbital computing bypasses terrestrial grid and cooling constraints.

● *Unified Infrastructure*: Seamless integration of communication and compute layers for space-based data services.

● *Global Resilience*: Designed to operate beyond geopolitical or national network controls.

● *Blockchain Verification*: Genesis-1 will include an Ethereum wallet and blockchain node for verified transactions in orbit.

<u>Market Opportunity</u>

The Orbital Cloud intersects multiple rapidly expanding markets:

● Orbital Infrastructure: USD $13.5B in 2024 → $21.3B by 2029 (CAGR ~9.6%)[2]

● Global Satellite Market: projected USD $615B by 2032[3]

● In-Orbit Data Centers: USD $1.77B in 2029 → $39.1B by 2035[4]

● Satellite Data Services: ~$12.16B in 2024 → ~$55.24B by 2034 (CAGR ~16.3%)[5]

Combined, these markets represent a potential $700B+ growth opportunity over the next decade, driven by AI, blockchain, renewable energy, and digital-sovereignty demands.

<u>Technologies and Ecosystem</u>

The project intends to utilize advanced technologies and hardware from global leaders, including:

● Ethereum Foundation – blockchain framework and wallet architecture.

● NVIDIA Corporation – high-performance GPUs powering AI compute payloads.

● Galaxy Space – satellite manufacturing components for future satellites.

● Galactic Energy – launch systems and rocket technologies for future satellites.

● SparkX Satellite – builder of the DeStarlink Genesis-1 satellite.

● AscendX Aerospace – advanced rocket materials integrated into future satellite assemblies.

<u>Investment and Mission Overview</u>

PowerBank intends to complete an initial investment of US $50,000 in Orbit AI, providing an option to invest $1 million for equity of 2%, which with the approval of Orbit AI may be increased to up to US $10 million for equity of 20%, contingent on agreement on final terms and to be completed prior to the launch of DeStarlink Genesis-1 which is expected in December 2025.

<u>Key Milestones</u>

● Q4 2025: Launch of Genesis-1 with Ethereum wallet, blockchain node, and initial AI inference payload.

● 2026: Expansion to 5–8 orbital nodes integrating compute and connectivity.

● 2027–2028: Full constellation rollout and commercialization of Orbital Cloud services.

● 2028–2030: Autonomous network governance; large-scale orbital compute and communication operations.
