Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, is launching a major satellite communications network called TeraWave, with plans to deploy 5,408 satellites. Targeted at enterprise, data center, and government users, TeraWave promises data speeds of up to 6 terabits per second. The satellites will be positioned in low Earth orbit and medium Earth orbit, ranging from 100 to 21,000 miles above Earth. Blue Origin plans to start deploying this satellite constellation in the fourth quarter of 2027. This move puts Blue Origin in direct competition with SpaceX's Starlink, which currently operates over 9,000 satellites and serves about 9 million customers. Amazon, also founded by Bezos, has been ramping up its satellite program, recently rebranding from Project Kuiper to Leo. Since last April, Amazon has launched 180 satellites through partnerships, including with SpaceX. The company aims to have a constellation of 3,236 satellites, serving businesses and consumers alike. Bezos has high hopes for Blue Origin, predicting it could outgrow Amazon in the future. He expressed confidence in the venture's potential during a 2024 interview, acknowledging that while it might take time, he believes it will become the best business he’s ever been involved in. Blue Origin's primary focus has been on rocket launches, including successful missions for tourists and research. Recent achievements include the successful launch of the New Glenn rocket and the landing of its booster, marking significant milestones for the company.
