Blue Origin to Launch 5,408-Satellite TeraWave Network Starting in Q4 2027

Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space company, announced plans on January 21, 2026, to deploy a 5,408-satellite constellation called TeraWave to deliver high-speed communications for data centers, governments, and enterprises. The network aims to achieve data speeds of up to 6 terabits per second (Tbps)—equivalent to 750 gigabytes per second—globally. Satellite deployment is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027, marking Blue Origin’s entry into the competitive low-Earth orbit broadband market, currently led by Elon Musk’s SpaceX and its Starlink service. TeraWave will target high-bandwidth users requiring low-latency connectivity across remote and underserved regions. No financial terms or launch vehicle details were disclosed.
