Google is exploring a bold 'moonshot' project called Project Suncatcher to create space-based AI data centers powered by solar energy, aiming to harness continuous, clean power for AI computing and reduce Earth's energy demands. The project involves launching TPUs on satellites with advanced communication and radiation resistance, with prototypes planned for 2027, and could make space-based data centers cost-competitive by the 2030s.
Google's Project Suncatcher aims to deploy AI-powered data centers in space using linked satellites with minimal thrust, leveraging off-the-shelf hardware and innovative radiation testing, with prototypes planned for early 2027 and potential cost reductions in the mid-2030s to make space-based data centers economically viable.
Google plans to deploy solar-powered AI datacentres in space by 2027, using constellations of satellites to meet rising AI demand, reduce terrestrial resource use, and harness renewable energy, despite engineering and environmental challenges.
Google is exploring the idea of deploying solar-powered AI data centers in space to meet growing energy demands and reduce environmental impact on Earth, with plans to launch test satellites carrying AI chips in 2027 as part of 'Project Suncatcher.'
