SpaceX's proposed AI-1 satellite is essentially an AI computing node wrapped in enormous solar arrays and space-based cooling hardware. The company says each first-generation craft could provide about 120 kilowatts of sustained compute power, roughly comparable to a high-end Nvidia GB300 server rack. Instead of consuming terrestrial grid power and cooling water, the satellites would use solar energy and radiate waste heat into space. SpaceX has also filed for permission for an orbital data-center system that could eventually contain up to one million satellites, although that enormous constellation remains a proposal rather than an approved deployment.
