风险摘要（续）：发射失败 / 太空环境 / 太空碎片 / 数据中心

ENGLISH · ORIGINAL

We have experienced, and will likely continue to experience, launch delays and failures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. • Our satellites, launch vehicles, and other space-related technologies operate, and in the case of orbital AI compute, will operate, in the harsh and unpredictable environment of space, exposing them to a wide and unique range of space-related risks that could cause them to malfunction or fail, and any such malfunction or failure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. • The continued proliferation of satellite constellations in Low-Earth Orbit, as well as the risk of collisions with space debris or other spacecraft, could limit or impair our launch flexibility and satellite deployment, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. • Interruptions in the operation of critical satellite network, ground station, launch, manufacturing, or spacecraft or data center infrastructure could result in significant downtime, operational delays or loss of service, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. • Manufacturing, testing and launching rockets, satellites, and spacecraft, including our efforts to reuse rockets and spacecraft, involve inherent risks that could result in human injury or death, property damage and environmental damage or other adverse environmental impacts due to accidents or equipment failures.

风险摘要（续）：发射失败 / 太空环境 / 太空碎片 / 数据中心

• 我们过去经历、并且可能继续经历——发射延期和发射失败——这些事可能严重损害我们的业务、财务状况、经营结果和未来前景。

• 我们的卫星、运载火箭和其他太空相关技术——以及未来的"轨道 AI 算力"——在太空这种"严酷、不可预测"的环境里运行——会暴露在一系列"范围广、独特"的太空相关风险之下——可能导致它们出故障或失效——任何一次故障或失效都可能损害我们的业务、财务状况、经营结果和未来前景。

• 近地轨道上卫星星座的持续增多——以及和太空碎片或其他航天器相撞的风险——可能限制或削弱我们的发射灵活性和卫星部署——这会损害我们的业务、财务状况、经营结果和未来前景。

• 关键的卫星网络、地面站、发射、制造、航天器或数据中心基础设施——运行一旦中断——可能导致严重停机、运营延迟或服务中断——每一种情况都可能严重损害我们的业务、财务状况、经营结果和未来前景。

• 制造、测试、发射火箭、卫星、航天器——包括我们"重复使用火箭和航天器"的努力——本身就有内生风险——可能因为事故或设备故障导致人员伤亡、财产损失、环境破坏或其他不利环境影响。

📝 翻译者注

• "近地轨道（Low-Earth Orbit, LEO）"：高度约 300–2,000 公里的轨道。Starlink 卫星就飞在这里。LEO 越来越拥挤——美国 FCC 和业界都在推"5 年内主动离轨"的规则。

• "自动避碰"：SpaceX 在 2025 年公开过，Starlink 卫星每天主动执行超过 1,000 次避碰机动——是"拥堵"问题已经实质化的硬证据。

• "发射失败"：Musk 公开说过**"Starship 早期发射失败是学习过程"——所以"风险摘要"里直接列出"会继续失败"**是诚实的。
