SpaceX plans to send as many as 1 million satellites into orbit to build an AI data center in space, according to Techub News, which cited CryptoBriefing. The project would rely on the company’s Starship rocket to enable frequent launches at lower cost. SpaceX is aiming to begin deploying satellites by the end of 2027 and reach a launch cadence of once per hour in 2028.
The report says the company filed an application with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in late January 2026. The proposed satellites would be equipped with large solar arrays, with a target of delivering about 100 GW of annual computing capacity.
CryptoBriefing said that if Starship can achieve reliable high-frequency launches before mid-2027, the economics of orbital computing could reshape decentralized networks and the crypto mining sector. The report did not provide further details beyond the filing timeline, deployment goals, and projected computing capacity.
