Cloud Constellation Corporation's is a company aiming to provide a space-based network and cloud data storage service, name SpaceBelt. It has plans for a constellation of 8 satellites able to offer 5 petabytes of data storage and using laser communication links between satellites to transmit data between different locations on Earth.[1]
In 2016 the organization entered into an agreement with SolarCoin solar energy cryptocurrency to store its blockchain vault on the satellites[2][3] for space-based deep cold storage[4][5] concurrent with live transactions.
In September 2017 Cloud Constellation entered into an agreement[6] with Virgin Orbit through its LauncherOne program to deploy twelve of its cloud constellation satellites to low Earth orbit. In 2018, service availability was planned for 2021.[7]
