There has been much discussion in the space community recently about building large data centers in orbit to avoid the environmental consequences of sprawling computing facilities on Earth. These ...

Building such facilities off Earth could have a lot of benefits. Early projects are underway. Last week, the Florida-based company Lonestar Data Holdings launched a shoebox-size device carrying data ...

Advances in artificial intelligence are driving surging demand for data centers. But these warehouse-like facilities, containing computers that process and store data, require a lot of land and huge ...

As artificial intelligence drives the need for vastly more computing storage and processing power, interest in space-based data centers has spiked. Although several startup companies, such as ...

Axiom Space will launch two orbiting data center nodes into low Earth orbit by the end of this year, as the first step in the development of off-planet computing infrastructure. The two satellites ...

"Really, Euclid is not only a dark universe detective, it's also a time machine. We will look back 10 billion years in cosmic history." The day that astronomers have been waiting for is here. On ...

The space race is back – but unlike the battle between the political superpowers in the 60s, this one is between tech corporations looking to explore data processing potential above the clouds. Google ...

Without a fully reusable Starship there will not be large scale AI Data Centers in space. SpaceX has to bring the cost of flying a SpaceX Starship below $80 million per flight. SpaceX will likely be ...
