Ground TruthMaritimeThe Missing Layer in the Orbital DatacenterEvery week seems to bring another announcement from the orbital compute sector. GPU clusters in low Earth orbit. On-orbit AI inference. Edge intelligence at the edge of the atmosphere. Hundreds of millions have been committed in 2025 and 2026 alone. The engineering is serious. Companies have put working hardware in orbit and trained AI models in space. But almost every announcement stops at the same point. The hardware exists, or soon will. What nobody is announcing is the commercial motion: the repeatable path from orbital GPU capacity to an enterprise…
