Blue Origin has announced 'Project Sunrise,' a plan to deploy a 50,000-satellite megaconstellation designed for orbital high-energy computing and data storage. This ambitious project aims to complement terrestrial cloud infrastructure by leveraging the resilience and solar resources of space. Supported by recent scientific research into orbital RAID architectures, the move signals a shift in the space race toward 'orbital compute sovereignty' and presents new challenges for space traffic regulation and international data laws.
