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

Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos' space company, unveiled plans Wednesday to deploy a 5,408-satellite constellation for its new "TeraWave" communications network, targeting data centers, governments, and enterprises. Satellite deployment is scheduled to begin in late 2027. The TeraWave network aims to deliver high-capacity, low-latency connectivity using optical inter-satellite links and advanced ground infrastructure. Blue Origin said the system will support growing global demand for secure, scalable data transmission amid rising cloud computing and AI workloads. The company has not disclosed the total project cost or funding structure. TeraWave will compete with SpaceX's Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper in the low-Earth orbit broadband market.
