SpaceX has asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for permission to launch up to one million satellites to create an orbital data center constellation, a proposal that Amazon has objected to. The company argued that the application lacks key details about satellite design, orbital altitudes, radiofrequency characteristics, and SpaceX's plans to manage conjunctions or interference at the scale of a million satellites. The FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr, responded by telling Amazon to focus on its own business rather than filing petitions against companies like SpaceX that are launching thousands of satellites in orbit. Amazon's Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is in a much earlier stage of development and has until July 30, 2026, to launch half of its constellation, per FCC regulations. However, it has requested a two-year extension on this deadline citing a shortage of near-term launch availability.
