What was said, and by whom

1. “announced today the upcoming launch of its first two Orbital Data Center (ODC) nodes to low-Earth orbit (LEO), by the end of this year”

   Axiom Space: the operator. Axiom Space to Launch Orbital Data Center Nodes to Support National Security, Commercial, International Customers, Axiom Space. Published 7 Apr 2025 (dateline of the release). Read 4 Oct 2026, in part: about five excerpts of 6,700 characters.

Where sources disagree

• A search-engine snippet of Axiom's product page says the nodes launched on 11 January 2026, and three trackers say the same. The text of that page as fetched holds no such sentence. Not supported by anything read.

Notes
