A space-based data center is a proposed concept to build and operate data centers in Earth's orbit, such as sun-synchronous orbits, to utilize space-based solar power. These facilities are designed to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as artificial intelligence processing, while bypassing terrestrial land and energy constraints.

    Space is likely to host most compute if compute demand remains effectively unlimited.

    “Space is the obvious place if the demand for compute is truly unbounded.”
