 Every public orbital-compute and space data center project in one table: who is building it, what hardware is (or will be) in orbit, launch date, status, publicly stated funding, and a source link for every row. Plus the next 200 upcoming launches from The Space Devs Launch Library 2 (rideshares and compute launches flagged) and live orbit elements from CelesTrak for the compute satellites whose NORAD IDs are public. Refreshed daily by CyberMax.

 ## Method and honesty rules
 - A project is listed only when a company page or a reputable news outlet describes it; every row links those sources and the facts they support. Values nobody has published (hardware, funding, dates) are empty, never estimated.
