Layers of the Space Economy: From Earth to Beyond Orbit

The space economy is in launch mode. With the SpaceX IPO behind us, the largest public offering in history, capital is flowing into space at levels the industry has never seen. Novaspace's latest Space Economy Report puts the sector at $626 billion in 2025, heading toward $1 trillion

SpaceComputer Mid-Year Updates 2026: Building the Fabric of the Space Internet

On June 12th 2026, SpaceX completed the largest initial public offering in history, entering the public markets at a valuation approaching $1.8 trillion. This historic IPO alone has lowered the barrier of capital inflows into the space industry significantly. We are about to enter a major space acceleration era!

Space Tech Ecosystem

Space is the hottest emerging sector of 2026, focused on the opportunity to expand humanity beyond the bounds of Earth. The major players in the space economy right now are building the orbital economy and building for the multi-planetary future over next 10-20 years.

Space-Based Data Centers: The Moonshot Worth Betting On

Space-based data centers went from science fiction to a serious investment thesis sometime around 2023. Google, Starcloud, Axiom Space, and SpaceComputer all announced orbital compute initiatives in the last few years. The race is on to scalability, with the finish line somewhere around 2030. One might say orbital compute

SpaceComputer 2026 - The Road Ahead

2025 was a remarkable year for aerospace. * SpaceX valuation at the beginning of the year was rumoured to be an already impressive figure of $400B, by the end of the same year estimates of close to $800B were circulating with a widely anticipated >$1T IPO in 2026. * Space Data

2025 in Review: Orbital Foundations

As humanity pushes beyond terrestrial bounds, 2025 was the year SpaceComputer set its foundations in orbit. What began as an idea for extra-planetary sovereignty materialized into working satellites, radiation-powered cryptographic tools, and a growing community of builders focused on the space-native economy. This is SpaceComputer’s year
