Blue Origin
Blue Origin is Jeff Bezos's privately held space company. It flies the heavy-lift New Glenn rocket and the suborbital New Shepard vehicle, and in March 2026 filed with the US Federal Communications Commission for 'Project Sunrise', a proposed constellation of up to 51,600 orbital data center satellites.
Blue Origin is Jeff Bezos's privately held space company. It flies the heavy-lift New Glenn rocket and the suborbital New Shepard vehicle, and in March 2026 filed with the US Federal Communications Commission for 'Project Sunrise', a proposed constellation of up to 51,600 orbital data center satellites.
It is one of a very small number of companies that can put large payloads into orbit, and it has now put its name to the largest orbital-compute proposal yet filed with a regulator. The proposal is a filing, not a program with hardware: nothing of Project Sunrise has flown, and no partners or customers were named in it.
Customers - commercial satellite operators, NASA and the US government - pay Blue Origin for launch services and space vehicles; the company is also funded by its owner.
United States
Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
