The final title: Addressing the Challenge of Cooling Data Centers in Space
Elon Musk’s vision of space-based data centers faces a significant cooling challenge in the vacuum of space. Heat dissipation requires radiators pointing away from the sun, adding complexity and mass. While SpaceX’s heavy-lift capabilities are vital, and Voyager Technologies’ Starlab aims to succeed the ISS, overcoming thermal physics is crucial. Despite market volatility, companies like Voyager are confident in their laser communication tools for in-space data processing, eyeing growth fueled by defense spending and a potential SpaceX IPO.
