E-Space is Greg Wyler’s latest constellation project, launched in 2022 after his runs with O3b and OneWeb. The sales pitch is that this will be the “sustainable” megaconstellation, with satellites that don’t fragment, that deorbit cleanly, and that can even collect debris. In other words, the company is trying to frame filling LEO with tens of thousands of small satellites as an act of orbital hygiene.

The stated ambition is extreme. Wyler has talked about deploying 100,000 satellites, and later hinted at 300,000. So far, the reality is three test satellites launched by Rocket Lab in 2022. They are pushing “constellations as a service” to governments and enterprises—effectively offering to design, manufacture, and operate a sovereign network on behalf of clients. That comes wrapped in the usual 5G NTN, IoT, and AI compute buzzwords.

Money is limited. E-Space has raised around fifty million dollars in seed funding from Prime Movers Lab. That is barely enough to cover early R&D and a test facility, let alone the billions needed for a hundred-thousand-satellite deployment. The company announced a plan to build a manufacturing base in Arlington, Texas, with thousands of jobs promised, which looks more like economic development theater than a clear step toward orbital scale.

The contradictions are obvious. A constellation of hundreds of thousands of spacecraft, even if individually small and designed to fail safely, multiplies collision risk. The idea that this will improve orbital sustainability is hard to take seriously. The “clean space” narrative is a marketing tool to differentiate E-Space from Starlink, Amazon Kuiper, or OneWeb, not a proven technical solution.

E-Space today is ambition without delivery. It has three test satellites, limited funding, and a pitch built around sovereign customers who might want their own LEO capacity without building from scratch. Whether anyone writes the checks needed to make that real remains to be seen. For now, it is another Wyler venture with an oversized vision and very little to show in orbit.
