# TeraWave
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Type:** Satellite constellation (communications layer)
|
||||||
|
**Parent:** [[blue-origin]]
|
||||||
|
**Status:** Announced January 2026
|
||||||
|
**Architecture:** 5,408 satellites designed for enterprise-grade connectivity
|
||||||
|
**Performance:** Up to 6 terabits per second
|
||||||
|
**Strategic positioning:** Communications/relay layer beneath [[project-sunrise]] compute layer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TeraWave is Blue Origin's satellite constellation designed to provide the data pipe for space-based compute infrastructure. Unlike consumer broadband constellations, TeraWave is explicitly positioned as enterprise infrastructure — the network layer in a vertically integrated stack that includes launch (New Glenn) and compute (Project Sunrise).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The TeraWave + Project Sunrise architecture is disclosed as two separate layers:
|
||||||
|
- **TeraWave:** Communications/relay layer (data pipe)
|
||||||
|
- **Project Sunrise:** Compute layer (processing)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This separation mirrors AWS's approach of building comprehensive platform layers rather than optimizing individual services.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Timeline
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **2026-01-XX** — TeraWave announced by Blue Origin
|
||||||
|
- **2026-03-19** — Project Sunrise FCC filing submitted (compute layer)
|
||||||
|
- **2026-03-20** — NASASpaceFlight coverage of TeraWave in context of New Glenn manufacturing acceleration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Strategic Context
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TeraWave represents Blue Origin's entry into the satellite constellation market, but with a different value proposition than Starlink or OneWeb. Rather than direct-to-consumer connectivity, TeraWave is infrastructure for space-based compute — "space AWS" rather than "space internet."
