00:04Installing data centers in space would make it possible to run them on solar energy
00:09without needing water for cooling since the cosmos is freezing cold.
00:14Most of the projects share a similar architecture.
00:18The computer servers are mounted on a constellation of low-orbit satellites
00:22synchronized with the sun to ensure continuous light for the solar panels.
00:26In this way they would receive eight times more solar energy than on Earth.
00:31The satellites would be very close to one another, just a few hundred meters apart,
00:36so that the connection between them remains reliable.
00:39Data transmission to Earth would be provided by lasers.
00:42But many challenges still need to be overcome.
00:46Processors will have to stand the vibration of a rocket launch,
00:49followed by the high level of radiation in space.
00:52They will also be exposed to solar flares
00:55and potential collisions with space debris and maintenance will have to be ensured.
01:02But we should be able to catch up the earth right behind the
