Blue Origin Files 'Project Sunrise' with FCC: Orbital Data Center Network for Advanced Computation in Space

Blue Origin filed FCC documents describing Project Sunrise, a network of spacecraft designed to perform advanced computation in orbit. The concept leverages New Glenn's heavy-lift capability to deploy data center modules with access to unlimited solar power and natural cooling. The filing positions Blue Origin as a competitor to emerging orbital compute ventures at a time when terrestrial data center power constraints are becoming a binding constraint on AI training scale.
