Google has unveiled Project Suncatcher, a bold step toward scaling AI computing into space. The initiative aims to create solar-powered satellite constellations equipped with Google TPUs, forming a distributed AI data center in orbit.
By harnessing the Sun’s continuous energy, this project could revolutionize how we power and deploy machine learning systems — reducing Earth’s data center footprint while unlocking near-unlimited scalability.
With tests proving radiation-resistant TPUs and ultra-fast optical satellite links, Google might be paving the way for a new era of AI innovation in orbit.
Can space truly become the next data center frontier?
