Powering Orbital Computing: From Watts to Megawatts
If chips are the bricks and data centers are the buildings, power is one of the essential utilities that makes them work. Computing ultimately comes down to watts: keeping a 700-watt GPU running in orbit requires an entire engineering system, from solar-array orientation and battery chemistry to bus voltage. Moving from watts to megawatts means…

In the Age of Space Computing, Why Is Energy Both the First Opportunity and the First Barrier?
On the ground, when computing capacity falls short, more servers can be added, the grid can supply more electricity, and additional cooling towers can be built. In orbit, however, there are no power outlets and no air to carry heat away. Every model inference, image-processing operation and inter-satellite data exchange ultimately becomes two things: electricity…
