Jeff Bezos just announced plans for a third megaconstellation—this one for data centers

Jeff Bezos has filed plans with the FCC for a third satellite megaconstellation called "Project Sunrise," featuring up to 51,600 satellites designed to operate as space-based data centers. Blue Origin argues these orbital facilities will complement Earth-based infrastructure by meeting growing AI computing demands without terrestrial constraints, targeting special sun-synchronous orbits that provide continuous sunlight year-round. This filing joins similar proposals from SpaceX and Starcloud, creating a competitive rush for limited prime orbital real estate in low-Earth orbit.
