Google's Suncatcher project aims to put AI data centers in orbit powered by solar energy

Google's Suncatcher project aims to operate AI data centers in orbit using solar power. An experimental satellite, the size of a fridge, is set to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on October 1. The challenges are significant, as it would take approximately 10,000 satellites to match a single 1-gigawatt data center on Earth. Jeff Bezos believes it could take 20 years for orbital data centers to surpass ground-based ones in cost.
