SpaceX is reportedly targeting late 2027 for initial tests of its orbital artificial intelligence computing infrastructure, moving up its timeline from the previously stated 2028. This initiative is central to the company's long-term strategy, as outlined in its IPO documents, where it claims to be the only firm with a viable path for large-scale orbital AI computing. During investor presentations, executives detailed plans to demonstrate these capabilities, while also seeking regulatory approval for deploying up to one million satellites to support this infrastructure. However, the success of this ambitious roadmap is closely tied to the development of SpaceX's Starship rocket, which has faced delays in achieving rapid reusability necessary for large-scale satellite deployment. The IPO aims to raise approximately $75 billion, with shares priced at $135, potentially valuing SpaceX at around $1.8 trillion, making it one of the largest public offerings ever.
