Texas, June 15, 2026 — Clean Holding Company ("CHC"), a U.S.-based clean and hybrid energy infrastructure developer, today announced plans to develop distributed orbital compute and energy systems in Low Earth Orbit ("LEO"), extending the Company's energy infrastructure strategy beyond terrestrial deployments to support next-generation artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, Earth observation, and sovereign digital infrastructure applications.
The initiative represents a long-term strategic expansion of CHC's infrastructure platform, combining modular space-based computing systems with advanced power generation and energy management technologies designed to operate as an extension of terrestrial digital infrastructure networks.
CHC's planned orbital infrastructure program is intended to establish a scalable network of distributed compute and energy assets capable of supporting latency-sensitive and computationally intensive workloads while complementing ground-based hyperscale data center infrastructure.
The Company's initial development objectives include:
The initiative is designed to support future computing requirements that extend beyond the capabilities of conventional ground-based infrastructure alone.
CHC expects the orbital infrastructure program to be developed through a phased approach intended to reduce technical risk while demonstrating progressively larger operational capabilities.
The anticipated development roadmap includes:
Phase I: Mission architecture development, systems engineering, and hosted payload demonstrations
Phase II: Deployment of initial modular orbital compute platforms supporting limited commercial and government workloads
Phase III: Expansion into distributed orbital compute networks integrated with terrestrial hyperscale infrastructure
Phase IV: Development of scalable orbital energy and compute systems supporting long-duration commercial operations
Each phase will be evaluated based on technical performance, commercial demand, regulatory approvals, and available launch opportunities.
The orbital initiative is intended to complement CHC's existing portfolio of modular terrestrial energy infrastructure supporting hyperscale data centers, industrial facilities, and mission-critical operations.
By integrating orbital computing resources with ground-based energy and digital infrastructure, CHC expects to develop a hybrid architecture capable of supporting:
The Company believes future digital infrastructure will increasingly rely upon geographically and architecturally diverse compute resources to improve resilience, scalability, and operational flexibility.
CHC intends to collaborate with established aerospace manufacturers, launch providers, satellite operators, and technology partners to evaluate system architecture, deployment strategies, and long-term commercial applications.
Development activities are expected to include:
The Company expects future development efforts to leverage commercially available launch services and evolving satellite manufacturing capabilities as the program advances.
"The demand for computing infrastructure continues to expand beyond traditional terrestrial deployments," said Sean O'Brien, Chief Business Officer of Clean Holding Company. "As artificial intelligence, Earth observation, and secure digital services become increasingly important, we believe distributed orbital infrastructure represents a logical extension of the energy and compute platforms required to support future global demand. Our objective is to evaluate and develop scalable systems that integrate space-based computing with the resilient terrestrial energy infrastructure we are already building."
The Company views orbital infrastructure as a complementary component of the next generation of global digital infrastructure, supporting applications where resiliency, geographic diversity, secure processing, and distributed computing architectures provide strategic advantages.
While the initiative remains in the planning and development stage, CHC believes continued advances in launch economics, satellite technology, artificial intelligence, and space-based communications are creating new opportunities for commercial infrastructure deployment in Low Earth Orbit.
The Company expects to provide additional updates as technical development, strategic partnerships, and program milestones progress.
