Four essential conditions for launching space data centers
SpaceX has proposed putting up to 1 million data centers into low Earth orbit, but cooling, radiation, space debris and the costs of launch and orbital assembly must be overcome before it can be realised, MIT Technology Review reported. Space-based data centres would need large radiators to shed heat, while radiation can cause bit flips and permanent damage. Low Earth orbit congestion and re-entry debris are also concerns, and the economics remain uncertain.
