Google Research has unveiled Project Suncatcher, a research initiative exploring how solar powered satellite constellations equipped with Tensor Processing Units TPUs could one day enable large scale artificial intelligence computation in space. The project is part of an early stage study into scalable AI infrastructure that operates beyond Earth's surface, leveraging the continuous solar energy available in orbit. According to Google, satellites operating in sun synchronous orbits can collect solar power almost continuously, up to eight times more efficiently than ground based systems.
