From satellites to space data centers: Why low earth orbit is attracting billions in investment

Major tech firms including Nvidia and SpaceX are making large strategic bets on a new layer of space-based critical infrastructure (satellite/LEO networks and related compute/connectivity). This trend could reshape telecom, cloud and defense supply chains and benefits hardware, launch and space-services providers, implying sector-level implications rather than an immediate market-wide shock.
