Filed with the FCC in March for Project Sunrise, a projected 51,600-satellite orbital compute network.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Ottawa's Launch the North program and SpaceX's Falcon 9 booking cutoff at 2028 have made sovereign launch fundable in Canada. The engineering timelines have not moved.

A preprint models the glare from proposed satellite data-center constellations. In the worst case the researchers examined, satellites would outnumber naked-eye stars by a factor of 100.

Chang'e-7 launches Aug. 24 with an orbiter, a rover and a six-legged hopper meant to jump into permanently dark craters. What it measures will constrain where anyone builds a base.

Local opposition has hardened into a siting constraint that relocates capacity rather than stopping it. The replacement sites carry worse latency, harder repair access, and pilot-stage scale.
Reality
Bermuda, New Zealand and Australia are tested and online, with nine sites promised by year end. The product being sold is one contract instead of a patchwork of antenna leases.

A researcher has named the industry's habit of selling cosmic expansion while omitting launch-site, atmospheric and lunar costs. The disclosure gap is the story, not the vocabulary.
Reality
SpaceX, Blue Origin, Google and Starcloud have filings out for well over a million compute satellites. The deadline is a sales pitch; the paperwork is a read on ground power and permitting.
