Google's Project Suncatcher: AI Data Centers in Space!

Google unveils Project Suncatcher, aiming to develop AI data centers in space using solar-powered satellites. The initiative targets energy constraints by harnessing continuous solar power. Major challenges include inter-satellite communication and radiation tolerance. Google plans to launch prototype satellites by 2027 to test the technology. The project could make space-based data centers a viable alternative by the mid-2030s.
