Crusoe announced a partnership with Starcloud to provide the first public cloud service operating in outer space. This collaboration will deploy Crusoe Cloud on a Starcloud satellite scheduled for launch in late 2026. By early 2027, Crusoe plans to offer limited Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) capacity from space, which may alter traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

The partnership aims to address the energy requirements of AI Operations (AIOps) by utilizing solar power from space. Cully Cavness, co-founder of Crusoe, noted the significance of this initiative, stating, “At Crusoe, we believe that space will ultimately matter to the future of computing...” The collaboration intends to co-locate compute resources to benefit from clean, sustainable energy sources available beyond Earth's limitations.

Starcloud’s satellite-based data center design incorporates solar arrays, eliminating reliance on terrestrial energy grids and cooling systems. The upcoming 2026 satellite will feature a dedicated module for the Crusoe Cloud platform, allowing the execution of AI workloads in a High performance computing (HPC) environment in space.

Philip Johnston, CEO of Starcloud, stated, “Having Crusoe as the foundational cloud provider on our platform is a perfect alignment of vision and execution.” This partnership signifies Crusoe’s commitment to expanding AI infrastructure and clean energy solutions while establishing a platform for high-demand computational tasks.
