SPCX Secures Singulus Deal To Scale Starmind Space Data Center Satellites

SpaceX signed a supply contract with German equipment maker Singulus Technologies for a turnkey line to produce heterojunction solar cells and related equipment for its planned Starmind satellites. The first line, valued at more than €60 million ($67 million), is scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2027.

What happened

SpaceX signed a $69 million deal with Germany’s Singulus Technologies for equipment to make solar cells in Texas. The first production line is due in the first half of 2027. SpaceX says the cells are for planned Starmind satellites, and each Starlink V3 satellite has about 10 times the previous generation’s downlink capacity.

Global impact / market context

The deal is a step toward making solar cells for SpaceX’s planned satellite network, but the production line is not due until 2027. For ordinary investors, the plans and stated capacity do not show how the project will perform or affect the market.

What to watch

  1. Check whether Singulus delivers the first production line in the first half of 2027; this is the stated schedule for the equipment.
  2. Check whether SpaceX provides updates on making solar cells in Texas; this would show whether the planned production is moving forward.
  3. Check for further details about the planned Starmind satellites; the source gives a production-equipment deal but no launch schedule.
