On paper, it makes a lot of sense to have space-based data centers. Bringing those data centers to space means they are not taking up any space on Earth, and in a sun-synchronous orbit there is ...

This would involve Google Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI chips being placed onboard an interconnected network of satellites to “harness the full power of the Sun.” Specifically, a “solar panel can be ...

Orbital data centers sound good in theory, but they will face numerous execution challenges.

Whenever one orbit is capable of serving astronomy, solar physics and dozens of commercial spacecraft simultaneously, what is being optimized: the mission, the market or the rocket? Sun-synchronous ...
