Deep Tech to Space: Space Data Centers and AI Revolution at the Edge
A new research paper proposes the concept of Space Data Centers (SDCs) to address the growing challenges of processing vast amounts of data generated by an increasing number of satellites. These AI-powered platforms would enable in-orbit data processing, reducing latency and the strain on Earth-based ground stations. The paper outlines a potential architecture for an SDC constellation in Low Earth Orbit, detailing aspects like orbital design, network topology, and software orchestration, while also analyzing its technical feasibility and economic viability.
