Google and SpaceX have held discussions since at least May 2026 about launch services for Project Suncatcher, Google’s research effort to test AI-optimized Tensor Processing Units on solar-powered satellites in low Earth orbit. The initiative, unveiled in late 2025, pairs Google with Planet Labs for two prototype spacecraft targeted for launch by early 2027 to validate performance, inter-satellite links, and thermal management in space. SpaceX is simultaneously advancing its own orbital data-center concepts using upgraded Starlink-derived hardware, citing advantages in solar power and launch economics, while securing major terrestrial compute deals with Google and Anthropic. Key near-term catalysts include the 2027 test flights, regulatory approvals for additional spectrum or orbital slots, and any public confirmation of a joint commercial agreement that would move beyond launch services to shared infrastructure.
