Image of the first page of the filing - SpaceX requests authority to launch and operate a constellation of satellites with unprecedented computing capacity to power advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) models and the applications that rely on them. By directly harnessing near-constant solar power with little operating or maintenance costs, these satellites will achieve transformative cost and energy efficiency while significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with terrestrial data centers. Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization—one that can harness the Sun’s full power—while supporting AI-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity’s multi-planetary future amongst the stars SpaceX is designing its satellite system to accommodate the explosive growth of data demands driven by AI, machine learning, and edge omputing, where processing needs are already beginning to outpace terrestrial capabilities. To deliver the compute capacity required for large- scale AI inference and data center applications serving billions of users globally, SpaceX aims to deploy a system of up to one million satellites to operate within narrow orbital shells spanning up to 50 km each (leaving sufficient room to deconflict against other systems with comparable ambitions). This system will operate between 500 km and 2,000 km altitude ...
