Google sent its first advanced Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chip into space aboard a Planet Labs-built satellite launched by SpaceX. The satellite will test the chip's ability to operate in space conditions, including power, cooling, and radiation resilience, as part of Project Suncatcher, which aims to build large-scale compute clusters orbiting Earth. Google envisions a future network of 81 satellites working together to handle AI workloads, anticipating cheaper rocket launches by 2035 to scale this infrastructure. Early tests show the chip can handle inference tasks with low error rates, supporting the feasibility of space-based AI data centers.
