class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There might be a few issues with this plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously there is the launch cost. Even with the insane cost of data center components, the cost of launching the whole assembly into space adds significantly to the overall cost, along with the cost of sending technicians into orbit to service the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the biggest issue with orbital data centers might be heat dissipation. Data centers which consume hundreds of megawatts have to dissipate all of that energy as heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people think of space as cold, but for heat emitting systems like machines or humans in spacesuits, space functions more like a giant vacuum flask. The kind of vacuum which keeps your Thermos of soup hot all day on Earth completely surrounds anything you put into orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Earth, data center heat dissipation is a barely manageable problem. Data centers on Earth pump out so much heat, a sizeable portion of the cost of a constructing a data center is building the cooling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In space the heat dissipation problem will be far worse \u2013 you can\u2019t just dump all the heat into a convenient large body of water located next to your data center; all the heat has to be radiated into the vacuum of space without any help from air convection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I read the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/research.google\/blog\/exploring-a-space-based-scalable-ai-infrastructure-system-design\/\">Google press release<\/a>&nbsp;on their new orbital data center idea, and not once did they mention heat dissipation or cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is Google advocating such unlikely sustainability ideas? First claiming data centers will be powered by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nucnet.org\/news\/google-signs-deal-to-buy-fusion-energy-from-bill-gates-backed-nuclear-startup-7-3-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nuclear fusion in the next decade<\/a>, now claiming they\u2019ll put all the data centers in space and power them with solar energy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These grandiose plans might just be a manifestation of late-stage investment bubble fever. But I wonder how bad Google\u2019s internal divisions are, whether Google management is catching a lot of internal heat over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/07\/03\/google-damage-control-over-ai-driven-48-co2-emissions-surge\/\">their skyrocketing data center CO2 footprint<\/a>? Perhaps these wild sustainability plans are a desperate attempt to pacify Google\u2019s in-house climate worriers \u2013 at least until<strong>\u00a0<s>skynet<\/s>\u00a0suncatcher <\/strong>is ready to take over all the programming jobs. But that\u2019s just my own wild theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe
