According to Bloomberg, SpaceX plans to build a photovoltaic manufacturing plant with an annual capacity of 10g W near Austin, Texas.
Bloomberg said it obtained a permit application from the county government of Bastrop, Texas, showing that the manufacturing plant has two floors, each with a battery capacity of 5G W .
It is worth noting that the matter was mentioned in SpaceX's IPO documents in late May. According to
IPO documents, most of SpaceX's star chain products are produced at the Bastrop plant, which was put into operation in 2023, and the plant can produce tens of thousands of star chain terminal equipment daily. According to the company, in 2026, the capacity of the plant will be more than doubled, and the R & D and manufacturing systems will be upgraded simultaneously to support the landing of new products; the vertical integration of the industrial chain will be promoted, and the production lines of gateway antennas, solar cells and AI computing satellites will be added.
It can be seen that SpaceX's construction of a photovoltaic manufacturing plant in Bastpro is also part of accelerating the landing of Musk's space program.
All for the space program
, Musk has publicly shared his future plans to launch AI data centers into space and plan to deploy 100 GW solar AI satellites in space. At the same time, solar energy is used to solve the energy problem of space computing power.
If Musk wants to achieve this goal, the most important thing is financial support.
Over the years, Musk has said more than once in public that SpaceX will not go public until humans land on Mars. Not long ago, however, SpaceX began its journey to market.
Earlier, on May 20, local time, SpaceX formally submitted its S-1 prospectus to the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States for listing on Nasdaq. According to local media reports, the company had secretly submitted the application documents for listing as early as April.
In this listing, SpaceX plans to raise $75 billion, with a valuation expected to reach 1. If the listing goes smoothly, it will break the global IPO record of $29.4 billion set by Saudi Aramco in 2019 and rank among the top technology companies in the world.
In addition to capital, energy is the core and key power base of Musk's space program.
He has repeatedly said in public that he wants to use solar energy to power future space infrastructure.
To this end, Musk proposed 200GW
At present, SpaceX and Tesla are working hard to promote the landing of the above goals.
Tesla restarted its photovoltaic plant in Buffalo " Just days before the news of the SpaceX plant in Bastrop County came out, local media reported that. Tesla is planning to build an integrated photovoltaic plant at its Brookhill plant near Houston, Texas, that will include silicon ingots, < a href = "https://www.databm.".
