## SpaceX satellite plan
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
## Key takeaway

SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing competing satellite and lunar systems while NASA assigns both to lander tests for Artemis missions.
