A typical AI-focused data centre can consume as much electricity as 100,000 homes. Now companies want to put them in orbit, where carefully chosen satellites can see almost continuous sunlight and dump their waste heat into space through giant radiators i – Space Daily

Companies are exploring the concept of placing AI data centers in orbit to address the substantial power consumption challenges associated with artificial intelligence infrastructure, which can use as much electricity as 100,000 homes. The proposed orbital approach would leverage satellites’ access to near-continuous sunlight and their ability to dissipate waste heat directly into space through radiators, potentially offering energy and cooling advantages over terrestrial facilities.
