Starmind
Orbital AI compute program: solar-powered satellites (first generation, AI1) carrying vendor-agnostic AI compute payloads in sun-synchronous orbit, cooled by the vacuum of space and beaming results back to Earth via Starlink's laser links.
Pre-launch, no purchasable form as of 2026-09-01. SpaceX's own X post (4 Aug 2026) describes Starmind AI1 as a satellite compute payload partnered with NVIDIA (Rubin GPUs, Vera CPUs); coverage describes first launches targeted for 2027 (Q4 2027 in some reports). SpaceX has announced compute-access deals with Google and Anthropic but publishes no list price.

SpaceX's own Starmind program page. An automated fetch of this URL returns only head metadata (title/description/keywords), the same shell spacex.com serves for every path including its own homepage -- confirmed 2026-09-01 that this is a client-rendered SPA an automated request cannot render the body of, not evidence the page is fake (spacex.com's sitemap.xml and robots.txt both return genuine 404s, which is what a real miss looks like on this host). Kept as the source rather than dropped, since the program is independently confirmed by SpaceX's own 2026-08-04 X post naming the NVIDIA partnership and by third-party coverage.

SpaceX's Starmind page describes the programme as "Capturing solar energy in space to power low-cost, high-performance AI compute for Earth." and says the Bastrop factory is "planned to enable rapid production and deployment of thousands of AI satellites starting as soon as late 2027." The page names no price, plan, sign-up or contact-sales route; its only buttons lead to a video, careers ("JOIN US"), Starship and Terafab.
