According to @godofprompt, Google is set to launch 80 solar-powered satellites at 400 miles above Earth by early 2027, establishing the first AI-driven space data centers. These satellites will harness solar panels that are eight times more efficient in space, enabling uninterrupted 24/7 clean energy for AI processing. The initiative eliminates traditional constraints such as water usage for cooling and land requirements, unlocking new scalability for AI compute infrastructure. By the 2030s, costs for space-based data centers are expected to match Earth-based ones, with a tenfold improvement in carbon savings over their lifecycle. Industry leaders such as Elon Musk are advancing parallel efforts with Starlink and SpaceX, while Nvidia is providing next-generation chips this month through Starcloud, signaling a competitive market in orbital AI infrastructure. The move marks a pivotal shift toward sustainable, scalable, and globally accessible AI compute resources, reshaping the business landscape for cloud AI services (source: @godofprompt, Twitter).
