 Kepler Communications launched 10 ODC-equipped satellites in January 2026, each carrying multi-GPU compute modules and terabytes of storage. By February 2026, multiple US operators were simultaneously running production workloads—the first month in history with multiple orbital data center operators active. TechCrunch reported in April 2026 that 'the largest orbital compute cluster is open for business' from a separate US operator.

+
+China's Three-Body constellation represents a parallel operational deployment track, completing 9 months of testing by February 2026. Unlike Western deployments focused on edge compute nodes, Three-Body demonstrates large-scale AI model execution (8B parameters) with distributed computing across 12 satellites, suggesting different architectural approaches between US and Chinese orbital compute strategies.
