The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has concluded nine months of testing for its "Three-Body" Computing Constellation. The tests successfully demonstrated the ability to run large-scale AI models directly on satellite hard...

SpaceX job postings include roles tied to silicon crystal growth and wafer supply (relevant to internal solar cell production) as well as silicon photonics, which can improve high-bandwidth data movement with lower power overhead in advanced paylo...

Elon Musk remarked favorably on Mach33 Researchby stating: “Your analysis is excellent for an organization that doesn’t design, build and fly thousands of satellites.” Musk added that, within a few iterations, AI satellites could reach sub-100 kW ...

Elon Musk outlined a multi-generation Tesla AI roadmap, stating that AI4 alone should exceed human driving safety, AI5 would make vehicles “almost perfect” while significantly advancing Optimus, AI6 would be optimized for Optimus and terrestrial d...

SpaceX launched its first dedicated “Twilight” rideshare mission, deploying a cluster of satellites into a dawn dusk Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). This orbital regime maintains near continuous solar illumination by aligning orbital precession with ...

In Moonshots with Peter Diamandis Episode 220, recorded Dec 22, 2025 and published Jan 6, 2026, Elon Musk argued that the binding constraint for AI scale is energy and that space enables a step change via orbital solar and space based infrastructu...

SpaceX has filed with the FCC for authorization to deploy a constellation of 1 million Orbital Data Center satellites. In correspondence with Mach33, Elon Musk confirmed that while the primary architecture is optimized for inference, the hardware ...

A Wall Street Journal‑sourced Reuters report confirms Blue Origin has spent over a year developing technology for orbital artificial intelligence data centres, driven by the high energy costs of terrestrial facilities and the potential of constant...

Elon Musk stated that Starship could deliver 300 gigawatts to 500 gigawatts per year of solar-powered AI compute satellites into orbit, framing annual deployment rate rather than cumulative capacity as the defining breakthrough. Musk noted that 30...

Jeff Bezos, founder of Blue Origin, stated that the company is "working on" orbital data centres, and noted that “you get 8× more energy in space than on Earth for a given area of solar panel". The remarks suggest Blue Origin may be preparing to e...
