SpaceX filed for authority on Jan. 30 to deploy an orbital data-center system of up to 1 million satellites.
Blue Origin's TeraWave
Blue Origin announced TeraWave on Jan. 21, 2026, with 5,280 satellites in low Earth orbit and 128 in medium Earth orbit.
Lunar infrastructure plans
Blue Origin's Blue Alchemist system aims to turn lunar soil into solar arrays, metals and oxygen for future missions.
“Each kilogram of oxygen we make on the lunar surface is one less that we have to launch from Earth”
The short version
SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing competing satellite and lunar systems while NASA assigns both to lander tests for Artemis missions.
