World (Enmaeya News) – November 7, 2025

The American company announced that it plans to establish AI-driven data centers in outer space by early 2027. According to The Guardian, Google’s new project—titled “Sun Chaser”—aims to send a constellation of solar-powered satellites equipped with TPU processors into Earth’s orbit.

The company added that these satellites will be interconnected through optical links, enabling ultra-fast data exchange.

Google’s scientists and engineers believe that a swarm of around 80 satellites could be launched into orbit to meet the rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence technologies.

Research published by the company on Tuesday revealed that the cost of rocket launches is rapidly declining, and operating space-based data centers could become as cost-effective as terrestrial ones by the mid-2030s.

Google also argues that using satellites may help reduce the environmental footprint of traditional data centers, which consume vast amounts of water and energy for cooling.

These space centers will rely on solar panels expected to be eight times more productive than those on Earth.

The company plans to launch its first two experimental satellites by early 2027, describing the project as “the first step toward scalable, space-based artificial intelligence.”

However, Google acknowledged that the project faces major engineering challenges, including thermal management, ground connectivity, and system reliability.

Astronomers, meanwhile, have voiced concerns over the growing number of satellites in orbit, comparing the view of the sky to “a car windshield splattered with bugs,” which they say interferes with astronomical observations.

On another note, billionaire Elon Musk announced last week that his companies Starlink and SpaceX also plan to build space-based data centers. Similarly, NVIDIA is preparing to send its electronic chips into space later this month for a scientific experiment.
