The race to build ever-larger data centers to fuel the explosive growth of artificial intelligence has hit hard limits on Earth. Power grids strain under gigawatt-scale demands, suitable land becomes scarce, cooling requires massive water resources, permitting delays stretch years, and environmental backlash grows. Yet the compute hunger shows no sign of slowing. Enter a bold alternative: orbital data centers -- computing facilities placed in space, leveraging the unique environment of orbit to overcome many terrestrial constraints.
