WASHINGTON — Blue Origin is the latest company to propose an orbital data center system, filing plans for a constellation of up to 51,600 satellites.
In a March 19 filing with the Federal Communications Commission, Blue Origin sought authorization to launch and operate Project Sunrise, a constellation of satellites that would provide in-space computing services.
Like other companies that have announced plans for orbital data centers, Blue Origin argues that a satellite constellation is the best approach to meet the growing computing requirements — and thus power demand — of artificial intelligence applications.
