Google and SpaceX have held talks since at least May 2026 on using Starship launches to deploy prototypes for Google’s Project Suncatcher orbital data centers, which aim to network solar-powered satellites carrying TPUs for AI workloads in low-Earth orbit. SpaceX separately filed FCC plans in January 2026 for a million-satellite constellation to host compute, citing near-constant solar power and lower long-term energy costs versus terrestrial facilities strained by AI demand. Google already holds a roughly 6% SpaceX stake and in June 2026 signed a multibillion-dollar terrestrial compute agreement with the company ahead of its IPO, creating aligned incentives, though no formal space data-center partnership has been confirmed. Prototype launches with Planet Labs remain targeted for early 2027, with technical hurdles around radiation, thermal management, and inter-satellite links still unresolved.

Qualifying agreements include launch agreements, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, infrastructure agreements, or other formal commercial arrangements directly related to orbital data centers or space-based computing infrastructure.
Announcements by Google, SpaceX, Alphabet Inc., or their authorized representatives will qualify, regardless of whether the agreement has closed, been fully executed, or entered into force.
Non-binding discussions, reports of negotiations, rumors, exploratory talks, or agreements unrelated to orbital data centers or orbital computing infrastructure will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Google, Alphabet, or SpaceX, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
