Blue Origin plans a big Texas factory for its satellite network
Blue Origin announced on 8 October a 1.3-million-square-foot Texas campus. Texas says it is a $554.78 million funding adding over 2,000 jobs.
On 8 October 2026, Blue Origin announced Constellation Park, a 1.3-million-square-foot factory campus in Hutto, Texas, that it says will add over 2,000 jobs over 10 years. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's office said the campus carries a $554,780,000 capital spending and that a $18,171,000 Texas Enterprise Fund grant was extended to Blue Origin. Blue Origin said the campus will support manufacturing for TeraWave, its satellite network 'serving enterprise, data center, and government users', plus Quartz ground stations. We file this because it is a state-confirmed capacity build for a business beyond rockets. How we read it: Blue Origin is getting ready to make satellite network gear at scale, but no opening date was given. What would change this: a delay or a cut in plans. Why it matters to you: a space-based internet service could help connect far-away places and, Blue Origin says, data centers.
What this doesn't prove
Neither the state release nor Blue Origin's announcement gave an opening date. The 2,000 jobs are spread over 10 years. The state grant is performance-based.
