Beyond Terrestrial Cooling: The Engineering Realities of Orbiting AI Cloud Data Centers
Imagine walking into a modern data center on Earth. The first thing you notice isn’t the hum of supercomputers; it is the roar. Dense banks of high-performance hardware produce immense thermal output, demanding heavy-duty HVAC networks, large-scale chillers, and huge daily volumes of water to prevent catastrophic overheating. Now picture that same data center, but…
